43 U.S.C. § 125 — Annexation of discontinued district to adjacent district

submitted date unrecorded by Congress to r/title-43-PUBLIC-LANDS · 69 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

If a land district costs too much to run, the President can shut it down. This applies when collecting revenue there costs at least a third of that revenue. The President can then merge that district into a neighboring one.

If the cost of collecting revenue from public land sales in a land district reaches at least one-third of all the revenue that district collects, the President may act. If the President decides doing so does not hurt the public interest, the President may shut down ("discontinue") that district's land office. The President may then attach ("annex") that area to another, adjoining land district.

Whenever the cost of collecting the revenue from the sales of the public lands in any land district is as much as one-third of the whole amount of revenue collected in such district, it may be lawful for the President, if, in his opinion, not incompatible with the public interest, to discontinue the land office in such district, and to annex the same to some other adjoining land district.
