Bill overview
This bill aims to restrict how the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) can be used to purchase land or water from private landowners. Currently, states receiving LWCF assistance can use those funds to acquire property. This bill would prohibit states from doing so, ensuring that LWCF money is not used to directly purchase land or water from private owners. It clarifies that appropriations from the fund cannot be used for acquisitions from private landowners.
