This law confirms certain old land-claim transfers on reclamation land. Land assignments made in good faith between June 1910 and January 1913 are now validated. Assignees still had to prove their claims by May 1916 and follow reclamation-law rules.

This section validates a specific group of old land-claim transfers tied to a federal irrigation project. It applies to assignments made between June 23, 1910, and January 1, 1913 — transfers of land where the original claimant (the "assignor") had already submitted satisfactory final proof, and the person receiving the assignment (the "assignee") bought it honestly believing the assignment was valid under section 441 of this title. As long as there's no valid, intervening adverse claim on the land, this section confirms that assignment. The assignee gets the same right to the land that section 441 gives — even though the original entry had, by then, been reshaped to fit "farm units," and the specific part that was assigned had been canceled and removed from the original entry before the final proof date. There's a catch: every entry confirmed this way stays subject to the reclamation law's limits, terms, and conditions (including later amendments to that law). And every assignee whose entry gets confirmed still had to submit the proof required of assignees — and had to do it before May 8, 1916 — in order to actually receive their patent (the deed).

In the absence of any intervening valid adverse interests any assignment made between June 23, 1910, and January 1, 1913, of land upon which the assignor has submitted satisfactory final proof and the assignee purchased with the belief that the assignment was valid and under section 441 of this title, is confirmed, and the assignee shall be entitled to the land assigned as under section 441 of this title, notwithstanding that said original entry was conformed to farm units and that the part assigned was canceled and eliminated from said entry prior to the date of final proof: Provided, That all entries so assigned shall be subject to the limitations, terms, and conditions of the reclamation Act, and Acts Amendatory thereof and supplemental thereto, and all of said assignees whose entries are confirmed shall, as a condition to receiving patent, make the proof required, prior to May 8, 1916, of assignees.
