The Secretary of the Interior must issue quitclaim deeds to public-land States for lands already patented to them under section 641. The Secretary must also issue patents for certain unpatented, segregated public lands tied to State certificates, other evidence of rights, or qualifying equitable claims before June 1, 1953.
The Secretary of the Interior must issue quitclaim deeds to the public-land States for all lands patented to those States under section 641 of this title. The Secretary must also issue a patent for all unpatented public lands within each State that are now segregated under that section and that meet either of these conditions: the State issued final certificates or other evidence of a right to the land before June 1, 1953; or an equitable claim to the land arose before that date because someone cultivated or improved it for agricultural development. The patent is for conveyance to the people who hold those rights or claims, or to their heirs, successors, or assigns.
The Secretary of the Interior shall issue quitclaim deeds to the public-land States for all lands patented to such States under section 641 of this title. He shall also issue a patent for all unpatented public lands within each State now segregated under that section for which the State issued final certificates or other evidence of right prior to June 1, 1953, or as to which equitable claims to the lands accrued prior to that date (by reason of cultivation or improvement of the lands for agricultural development purposes) for conveyance to the holders of such rights or claims, or to their heirs, successors, or assigns.
