in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

In states with no land office, people can file public land claims at the Bureau of Land Management. Required proofs can be sworn before any officer who can administer oaths, certified by a court clerk. Money paid for these land entries goes into the U.S. Treasury.

This section covers public land located in states that don't have their own land offices. People can file entries for that land at the Bureau of Land Management instead, following the usual rules for entering public land. The proofs and affidavits the law requires can be sworn before any officer authorized to give oaths, as long as a court of record's clerk certifies that officer's official status. Money the Secretary of the Interior (or an officer the Secretary picks) collects for land bought by cash entry must be deposited into the U.S. Treasury.

And moneys received by the Secretary of the Interior, or such officer as he may designate, for lands entered by cash entry shall be covered into the Treasury.
