43 U.S.C. § 123Continuance of land offices when required by public convenience

submitted date unrecorded by Congress to r/title-43-PUBLIC-LANDS · 72 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Even if a land district has less than 100,000 unsold acres, the Secretary of the Interior can keep it (and its land office) open if it holds a state capital, and the Secretary thinks keeping it open serves the public or helps finish selling off that state's public land.

This section lets the Secretary of the Interior keep certain land offices open past the usual closing threshold. The Secretary of the Interior may continue a land district that contains the seat of government of one of the states, and may keep that district's land office open, even though the district has less than 100,000 acres of unsold land — the amount that would otherwise trigger closing it. The Secretary can do this whenever, in the Secretary's opinion, continuing the district is required by public convenience, or is needed to finish closing out the land system in that state. The section has no lettered subsections.

The Secretary of the Interior may continue any land district in which is situated the seat of government of any one of the States, and may continue the land office in such district, notwithstanding the quantity of land unsold in such district may not amount to one hundred thousand acres, when, in his opinion, such continuance is required by public convenience, or in order to close the land system in such State.
