No Net Gain in Federal Lands Act: Limiting Government Land Acquisition
This act aims to limit the growth of land owned by the federal government. It means that if the government acquires new land, it must dispose of an equal amount in the same state during the same fiscal year. This could impact the availability of land for public projects or conservation, as well as land use planning in individual states.
Key points
The federal government cannot acquire more land in a state than it disposes of in that state during the same fiscal year.
An annual inventory of all federal lands will be conducted to monitor changes in their total acreage.
If the government acquires too much land, it will be required to convey the excess back to the respective state.
