AI Summary
This bill, the Lake Bistineau Land Title Stability Act, directs the Department of the Interior to convey approximately 229.72 acres of "omitted land" surrounding Lake Bistineau, Louisiana, including Peggy's Island and Hog Island, to the appropriate claimants who have held the land in good faith and peaceful adverse possession based on the original 1838 survey. The conveyance would confirm the claimants' title to the surface and mineral rights of the land, without any cost to the claimants, except that the State of Louisiana would need to pay any administrative costs incurred by the Secretary of the Interior in preparing the necessary documentation for the land transfer.
