Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
The bill directs the Secretary of the Interior (BLM) to offer and convey the United States’ reversionary interests in approximately 8.43 acres in Sacramento, California, to the recorded parcel owners upon request. Conveyances must occur within two years of a buyer’s request, be sold for not less than fair market value based on required federal appraisal standards, and the buyer pays all related costs.
Progressives emphasize privatization and loss of public uses
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward, well-integrated conveyance statute that specifies who may purchase, the valuation standards to be used, cost allocation, and disposition of proceeds.

Sale proceeds go to the Federal Land Disposal Account under the Federal Land Transaction Facilitation Act; conveyances remain subject to valid existing rights and preserve a minimum railroad right-of-way width.
Localized, technical, low-cost conveyance with standard safeguards; historically such bills often succeed, though committee/administrative objections could slow progress.
