Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
Congress must approve large land withdrawals
If enacted, federal agencies would need Congress's express approval before making a covered land withdrawal that totals more than 5,000 acres. A covered withdrawal would include withholding or reserving federal land from settlement, sale, mining, or other public-land uses, transferring land between federal agencies, or restricting certain offshore mineral-leasing activities. Temporary public land orders that expire within five years and are not extended would be exempt. The President could also exempt withdrawals necessary for national security.
