43 U.S.C. § 1315 — Rights acquired under laws of United States unaffected
submitted 73 years ago by ch. 65 to r/title-43-PUBLIC-LANDS · 148 words · no verdicts yet
This subchapter does not change rights that people may already have acquired under United States law in covered lands. It also does not decide whether the law creating a claimed right applies or requires that right to be granted.
Nothing in this subchapter or subchapter I affects rights, if any, that a person acquired under United States law in lands covered by either subchapter. Those rights are governed by the law in effect when they were acquired. But these subchapters do not find, interpret, or construe that the law supporting a claimed right actually applies to those lands, or authorize or require granting the right there. Nothing here changes the determination of whether that law applies or what effect it has.
Nothing contained in this subchapter or subchapter I shall affect such rights, if any, as may have been acquired under any law of the United States by any person in lands subject to this subchapter or subchapter I and such rights, if any, shall be governed by the law in effect at the time they may have been acquired: Provided, however, That nothing contained in this subchapter or subchapter I is intended or shall be construed as a finding, interpretation, or construction by the Congress that the law under which such rights may be claimed in fact or in law applies to the lands subject to this subchapter or subchapter I, or authorizes or compels the granting of such rights in such lands, and that the determination of the applicability or effect of such law shall be unaffected by anything contained in this subchapter or subchapter I.
