Acre In, Acre Out: No Net Increase in Federal Land
This proposed bill introduces a rule that for every acre of land the federal government acquires, it must sell an equal amount of other federal land. The goal is to prevent an increase in the total acreage managed by federal agencies. Proceeds from these sales would be used to reduce the national debt.
Key points
The federal government cannot increase the total area of land managed by agencies like the National Park Service or Forest Service.
For every acre of land acquired, an equal amount of federal land must be sold.
Sold lands will be offered at fair market value, with prices decreasing if not sold within a certain period.
All net proceeds from land sales will go towards reducing the public debt, potentially impacting national finances.
