Bill > HR2687

This bill, the Fort Pulaski National Monument Lease Authorization Act, allows the Secretary of the Interior to lease up to 30,000 square feet of land and any existing structures within Fort Pulaski National Monument in Georgia to the Savannah Bar Pilots Association, or a similar organization, for a period of up to 10 years, renewable for additional 10-year terms. This lease is specifically for the location on Cockspur Island that the Association has continuously used since 1940, and the rental fee will be based on fair market value, potentially adjusted for the lessee's expenses on property preservation, maintenance, or repair. The bill also specifies that the proceeds from this lease will be handled according to a particular section of Public Law 91383, and that the lease will be exempt from certain other federal laws, with the exception of how the proceeds are managed.
