This bill authorizes a land swap between two federal agencies in Tuolumne County, California, near Yosemite National Park. About 160 acres currently managed as part of the Stanislaus National Forest would be transferred to the National Park Service to become part of Yosemite National Park, while roughly 170 acres currently within Yosemite would be transferred to the Forest Service to become part of Stanislaus National Forest. The exchange is designed to consolidate land management around the Ackerson Meadow area, allowing each agency to oversee more logically connected tracts. The bill requires both agencies to identify and disclose any hazardous substances on the affected land before the transfer, while keeping the original agency responsible for any necessary cleanup. It also preserves existing rights, permits, and leases on the transferred land, though management responsibility for those agreements shifts to the new administering agency, and it allows minor boundary corrections to be made through Federal Register notices without further congressional action.
