in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law lets the Secretary of the Interior trade land with California. The Secretary can accept one specific tract inside Lassen Volcanic National Park from the state and give California other public land of equal value in return.

This section lets the Secretary of the Interior accept, on behalf of the United States, title to one specific piece of land from the State of California: the northeast quarter of the northeast quarter of section 27, township 30 north, range 5 east, Mount Diablo base and meridian. That tract sits inside the outer boundaries of Lassen Volcanic National Park. In exchange, the Secretary may give California a patent — a formal deed — to a different tract of unreserved, vacant, nonmineral public land located in the same state, worth the same amount as the tract California gave up. Once the United States accepts title to the land from California, that land automatically becomes part of Lassen Volcanic National Park.
