in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

This law does not excuse anyone applying for or claiming public land from paying required fees. Since April 24, 1944, district land office officials cannot keep any of these fees as personal pay. All money they collect must go to the U.S. Treasury.

This law does not let any public-land applicant or claimant skip paying the fees, commissions, or other money that the law or regulations require. Starting sixty days after April 24, 1944, officials at district land offices could no longer earn compensation based on fees, commissions, or other money they collected. Instead, everything they collected had to go into the U.S. Treasury.
