01 · The brief
Plain-English summaryWhat this bill actually does

<p><strong>Reversionary Interest Conveyance Act</strong></p><p>This bill directs the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to&nbsp;offer to sell the reversionary interest of the United States in approximately 8.43 acres of land in Sacramento, California, as generally depicted on a specified map dated November 7, 2022.&nbsp;Within two years of receiving a request from the owner of the land, the BLM must offer the reversionary interest and convey the reversionary interest to the buyer upon payment. The payment must be&nbsp;in an amount that is at least the fair market value of the reversionary interest.

Why people may split

The main political fault lines are not fully surfaced yet, so coalition durability is still unclear.

Watch point

The next hurdle is reproducing that support in the other chamber.
