Increased Transparency in Federal Land Acquisition by Bureau of Land Management.

This law requires the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to collect and report detailed data on all lands acquired using public funds. The goal is to increase transparency in how taxpayer money is spent on expanding federal land holdings. Citizens will gain better insight into how and why the government acquires new territories, promoting accountable management of public resources.
Key points
BLM must collect centralized data on every land acquisition funded by the Land and Water Conservation Fund.
Reporting is required on the method of acquisition and the type of interest acquired (e.g., full ownership, easement).
BLM must submit annual reports to Congress, ensuring public oversight of land expenditure.
