Bill > HR952

This bill provides a mechanism for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management to convey its reversionary interest in approximately 8.43 acres of land in Sacramento, California, to the current landowners. A reversionary interest is a legal right that allows the original property owner (in this case, the U.S. government) to reclaim the land under specific conditions. The bill allows the current landowners to request and purchase the government's reversionary interest within two years, with the sale price determined by a fair market value appraisal conducted according to established federal standards. The buyer must pay not only the appraised value but also all associated administrative costs like surveys and appraisals. The proceeds from the sale will be deposited into the Federal Land Disposal Account. The bill includes important protections, such as maintaining existing rights-of-way and specifically stating that the conveyance does not validate any claims of ownership through adverse possession or abandonment. The legislation ensures that the land transfer is transparent, fair, and follows established federal land management protocols, providing a clear path for landowners to obtain full ownership of their property.
