Prohibition on Private Land Acquisition from Land and Water Conservation Fund
A new bill proposes to change how the Land and Water Conservation Fund is used. If passed, states would be prohibited from using these funds to acquire land, water, or interests in them from private landowners. This means the funds would need to be allocated to other conservation-related purposes, without the option of purchasing private property.
Key points
Land and Water Conservation Fund money cannot be used to buy land or water from private owners.
This change may affect how states acquire land for conservation, shifting funds to other activities.
