in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law lets the President expand a park. The President can add unsurveyed land in Utah to Bryce Canyon National Park by proclamation. This requires a joint recommendation from the Secretaries of Interior and Agriculture.

This section gives the President power to grow Bryce Canyon National Park. The goal is to protect scenic land to the south and west of the park in its natural state. To do this, the President may add to Bryce Canyon National Park any or all of two described unsurveyed townships in Utah (townships 37 and 38 south, range 4 west, under the Salt Lake meridian survey), as long as that land was not already part of the park as of June 13, 1930. The President can only make this addition after getting a joint recommendation from the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture, and must do it through an official Executive proclamation. Once land is added this way, it becomes subject to all the same laws, rules, and regulations that already apply to the rest of Bryce Canyon National Park.
