H.R. 1235 · 109th Congress
No Net Loss of Private Land Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 109th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

No Net Loss of Private Land Act - Allows the the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior, in the case of a State in which 25 percent or more of all land in the State is owned by the United States, to acquire an interest in a parcel of land consisting of 100 or more acres in the State on behalf of the United States only if all right, title, and interest of the United States in the surface estate of another parcel of land in that State is conveyed, the value of which is approximately equal in value to the land being acquired.

Specifies exceptions. Allows the Secretary concerned to waive such requirements with respect to the acquisition of a particular parcel of land in a time of war or a national emergency when such acquisition is necessary as part of the U.S. response to the war or national emergency.
