in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Unclaimed public land in Alabama that contained coal deposits and was being held back from homesteading as of April 23, 1912 can still be claimed under the regular homestead laws. That claim, though, must follow the specific rules set out in sections 83 to 85 of this title.

This section covers certain public coal lands in Alabama. Unreserved public land in Alabama that contains coal deposits, and that was being withheld from homestead entry (under section 171 of this title) as of April 23, 1912, may still be entered under the ordinary homestead laws of the United States. That entry, however, is subject to whatever provisions, terms, conditions, and limitations sections 83 to 85 of this title set.
