Adds a new subsection (l) that prohibits a State receiving financial assistance under this section from using such assistance to acquire land, water, or an interest in land or water from a private landowner.
Section 200306(b) is amended by inserting after (text not provided in excerpt).
This bill would stop states from using Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) money to buy land, water, or related rights from private landowners. It changes federal law so that any state receiving LWCF assistance could not spend those funds on purchases from private owners. Other uses of LWCF money are not addressed here.
