This bill makes technical corrections and small policy changes as Title 54 of the United States Code is enacted into a positive law title. It amends related provisions in Titles 15, 16, and 43 to update cross-references, fixes typographical errors and section headings throughout Title 54, and adjusts the Schedule of Laws Repealed in Public Law 113-287. The bill restates or revises many chapter purposes and definitions (for example, for field employee housing, urban park recovery, and the Land and Water Conservation Fund), adds or clarifies language on land acquisition (including a willing-seller rule and a prohibition on using funds for lobbying), and specifies amounts made available in one section for challenge cost-share agreements.
The bill is mainly a set of legal and technical changes. It updates how statutes are referenced and corrects wording in many park, preservation, and recreation provisions. People mentioned in the bill text who could be affected include National Park Service staff, field employees who occupy Government housing, local governments and organizations that apply for park or urban recreation grants, and entities involved in land acquisition or conservation programs.
The bill text specifies $20,000,000 available to the Secretary for fiscal year 2018 and $30,000,000 available for fiscal year 2019 to pay the Federal share of certain challenge cost-share agreements, with at least 50 percent of project costs from non-Federal sources. No publicly available information on other costs, savings, or budgetary effects is included in the provided text.
