in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

No federal land can be used to make any reservoir bigger if that reservoir sits inside Yosemite National Park. This ban applies regardless of any other law. Congress must pass a specific new law approving the expansion before it can happen, and that had to happen after October 31, 1988.

Despite any other law, no federal land may be used to expand the capacity of any reservoir located within the boundaries of Yosemite National Park, unless Congress passes a specific law after October 31, 1988, that specifically authorizes that expansion.
