16 U.S.C. § 430u — Donations of land; purchase and condemnation

submitted 91 years ago by ch. 315 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 109 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

The Secretary of the Interior may accept donated land and buildings for the battlefield park. The Secretary may also buy land at a fair price using available funds. If a needed tract can't be bought, the Secretary may take it through condemnation instead.

This section lets the Secretary of the Interior get land for the battlefield park. The Secretary may accept donations of land, interests in land, buildings, structures, and other property inside the park's boundaries. Any land acquired this way must have a title that satisfies the Secretary. If money is available, the Secretary may also buy land on behalf of the United States, but only when the price is one the Secretary considers reasonable. If a needed tract cannot be bought at a reasonable price, the Secretary may instead acquire it through condemnation, following the rules in section 3113 of title 40. This power to buy or condemn land applies only to tracts within the park that are necessary to complete it.
