Summary

What the bill does

This bill directs the Bureau of Land Management to sell its reversionary interest in about 8.43 acres of land in Sacramento, California, to the current landowners. The sale must be at fair market value, and the buyer pays all costs. The money goes into a federal land disposal account.

Why it matters

The stakes

This bill affects landowners in Sacramento who currently hold property subject to a federal reversionary interest. It could allow them to gain full ownership, but also removes a federal claim that might have been used for public purposes.

The debate

What each side says

Supporters

  • The sale is at fair market value, so taxpayers get paid for the interest.bill
  • Proceeds go into a fund used for federal land acquisitions, which can help conserve other lands.bill
Critics
  • It gives up a federal interest in land that could have been used for public benefit, such as conservation or recreation.report
  • The appraisal process may undervalue the reversionary interest, shortchanging taxpayers.report
