No Net Gain in Federal Lands: Limiting Government Land Acquisition
This act aims to limit the growth of federal land ownership. It means that government agencies, such as the Department of Agriculture or the Department of the Interior, cannot acquire more land in a given state than they dispose of in the same year. This could impact the availability of land for national parks, protected areas, or other federal projects, as well as the management of existing federal lands.
Key points
The federal government cannot acquire more land in a state than it disposes of in the same year.
Requires an annual inventory and reporting of all federal lands.
If the government acquires too much land, it must convey the excess back to the state.
May affect future plans for national parks and protected areas.
