Plain-English Summary

The proposal would change budget rules to prevent Congress from using land sales or transfers as a way to offset the cost of other spending in budget bills. Currently, when the government sells or transfers federal land, the money raised can be counted as savings to help pay for new programs, but this change would eliminate that practice. This affects how Congress can structure budget bills and could make it harder to pass legislation that relies on land sales to fund other priorities.
