No Net Increase in Virgin Islands National Park Land

This bill aims to prevent the expansion of the Virgin Islands National Park on St. John. It means that if the government acquires new land for the park, it must sell or convey an equal amount of land elsewhere to keep the total park area unchanged. This measure seeks to maintain the park's stable size, potentially affecting land availability and prices for local residents.
Key points
The total acreage of the Virgin Islands National Park on St. John cannot increase.
If new land is acquired for the park, an equal amount of federal land within the park must be sold or exchanged.
Land sales will be at fair market value, with potential price reductions if not sold quickly.
