The Keeping Official Territories Eligible for Land-use Act would repeal a federal prohibition that currently bans the use of U.S. government funds for acquiring land, developing property, or constructing facilities in Israel, Jerusalem, or the West Bank. This prohibition has been in place since 1986 as part of the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism Act. If passed, the bill would remove this restriction and allow federal funds to be used for such projects in these areas. The legislation affects any U.S. government agencies or departments that might want to use federal money for real estate and construction activities in these locations. The bill contains no specific funding allocation or implementation timeline beyond the repeal itself.
