Bill > HR1276

This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior, who is a government official responsible for managing federal lands and resources, to remove specific restrictions from a parcel of land in Paducah, Kentucky, that was previously transferred to the City of Paducah. These restrictions, which include things like easements and covenants, are detailed in a quitclaim deed, which is a legal document that transfers ownership without guaranteeing clear title, from the United States to the City of Paducah dated April 27, 2012. However, the removal of these restrictions is subject to certain conditions: the City of Paducah cannot sell or transfer the land to anyone other than the Oscar Cross Boys & Girls Club of Paducah; if the City does sell it to the Boys & Girls Club, the Club must first offer to give it back to the Secretary of the Interior for free before selling it to anyone else; and any new use or development of the land must remain compatible with public use or recreation. The land in question is approximately 3.62 acres located at 2956 Park Avenue, on the Paducah Memorial Army Reserve Center, and was conveyed by the Secretary to the City of Paducah.
