Passed House

Summary

This bill would complete a targeted land swap between Yosemite National Park and Stanislaus National Forest to align which agency manages specific parcels in Tuolumne County. It would move parcels so each is managed under the rules for either the National Park System or the National Forest System and allow limited boundary corrections by agreement.

Show full summary
  • Visitors and recreation: About 160 acres would transfer into Yosemite and about 170 acres would transfer into Stanislaus, so those parcels would be governed by park or forest rules respectively.
  • Federal land managers: The Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture could make minor corrections to surveys and boundaries by mutual agreement, with any correction becoming effective on the date a Federal Register notice is published.
  • Existing rights and permits: Existing withdrawals, rights-of-way, easements, leases, licenses, and permits remain valid, and the agency receiving the land would administer those interests under applicable law beginning on enactment.
