in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law protects existing land rights and claims from before July 3, 1930. It covers ownership, homestead and mineral claims, rights-of-way, and water rights recognized by local law.

This section protects rights that already existed before it was written. Nothing in this law affects any vested and accrued ownership rights to land, or any valid existing claim, location, or entry under federal land laws as of July 3, 1930. This includes homestead claims, mineral claims, rights-of-way, and water rights connected to them — such as reservoirs, conduits, and ditches — as long as local customs, laws, and court decisions recognize them. This law also does not affect an owner's, claimant's, locator's, or entryman's right to fully use and enjoy their land.
