What it does
This bill swaps administrative control of two adjacent parcels of federal land in California's Tuolumne County: approximately 160 acres of National Forest land near Ackerson Meadow transfers from the Forest Service to the National Park Service (to be managed as part of Yosemite National Park), while approximately 170 acres of National Park land transfers from the Park Service to the Forest Service (to be managed as part of Stanislaus National Forest). Existing rights, permits, and easements on both parcels remain valid; the two agencies may make minor boundary adjustments by mutual agreement.
Quorum's transparency scan found no buried provisions in To provide for the transfer of administrative jurisdiction over certain Federal land in the State of California, and for other purposes.
