The Secretary of the Interior may give Florida land left out of Everglades National Park. In return, Florida must give the United States all its land inside the park's boundary. The Secretary cannot buy private land inside the park boundary, except by donation, until this exchange happens.

This section lets the Secretary of the Interior swap land with the State of Florida. The Secretary may transfer to Florida, by quitclaim deed, land, water, and interests in land that the United States had already bought for Everglades National Park but that ended up outside the park's boundary under section 410i. In exchange, Florida must convey to the United States all the land, water, and interests in land that the State owns inside the park boundary described in section 410i. There is a condition tied to this swap. Whenever land is excluded from the park boundary under section 410i, that exclusion only happens at the same time Florida conveys to the United States all the State-owned land within the park boundary — including land the State already received for the purpose of passing it on to the United States for the park. This land swap must happen before the Secretary can buy any privately owned land within the boundaries set by section 410i (outside the area described in sections 410e through 410h). The only exception: the Secretary may still accept privately owned land as a donation without waiting for the swap.

The Secretary of the Interior is authorized to transfer to the State of Florida by quitclaim deed the land, water, and interests therein, previously acquired by the United States of America for Everglades National Park and not included within such park by section 410i of this title, such transfer to be in exchange for the conveyance by the State of Florida to the United States of all land, water, and interests therein, owned by the State within the boundary of the park as described in section 410i of this title: Provided, That exclusion of any land, water, and interests therein from the park boundary pursuant to section 410i of this title shall be dependent upon the contemporaneous conveyance by the State to the United States of all land, water, and interests therein, owned by the State within the park boundary described in section 410i of this title, including land, water, and interests therein, heretofore conveyed to the State, for transfer to the United States for inclusion in Everglades National Park. The effectuation of the transfer provided for in this section shall be a condition precedent to the acquisition by the Secretary of any land, water, or interests therein held in private ownership within the boundaries set forth in section 410i of this title and outside the area designated in sections 410e to 410h of this title, except as such acquisition is by donation.
