Protect public lands from budget sales
If enacted, this bill would make any provision that sells, disposes of, or transfers Federal land "extraneous" under the Byrd Rule. It would do this by amending Section 313(b)(1) of the Congressional Budget Act to add land sales to the list of barred items for reconciliation. This is a procedural change and would create no new funding, programs, or benefits. States, local governments, agencies, and private buyers would have fewer fast budget-bill paths for securing federal land.
