The bill clarifies a federal land boundary and the controlling map date—reducing legal ambiguity—but may change local property expectations and create modest administrative or surveying costs for affected communities and governments.
Local land managers and adjacent property owners (including rural communities) get a clearer, updated legal boundary because the bill replaces 'one hundred acres' with '102.18 acres', reducing ambiguity about the parcel size.
Local governments and landowners benefit from a single, explicit map citation ('January 1992'), which simplifies the legal reference and reduces ambiguity about which map governs the boundary.
Homeowners and rural communities near the boundary may face altered property expectations or changes to land use/access because the defined area increases by 2.18 acres.
Local governments and taxpayers could incur administrative, surveying, or reconciliation costs if the updated acreage or map date differs from locally used maps.
