Latest Action · August 7, 2026
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to transfer federal ownership rights to approximately 15.12 acres of land in Bonners Ferry, Idaho, to private or local ownership by issuing a disclaimer of federal interest. The land in question was originally platted under an 1800s federal law that has since been repealed, creating unclear ownership status. The Secretary must complete this action within 90 days of the bill's enactment. The transfer excludes any portion of the land that falls within the Kootenai Indian Reservation boundaries. The bill has no specified federal funding requirements, as it simply clarifies and releases the government's claim to land that appears to be in private use.
