Bottom line

The bill clarifies federal land ownership by disclaiming the United States' interest in a specific 15.12-acre parcel in Bonners Ferry, Idaho, to facilitate its conveyance, while preserving Kootenai Indian Reservation boundaries.

What it actually does

This bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to issue a recordable disclaimer of the United States' interest in approximately 15.12 acres of land in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. This action is intended to facilitate the conveyance of this specific land parcel, which was originally platted under a repealed statute, by clarifying that the federal government no longer claims ownership. The disclaimer explicitly excludes any portion of the land that falls within the boundary of the Kootenai Indian Reservation.

Section 1(a) and 1(b)

Disclaimer of Federal Interest in Bonners Ferry Land

prominently featuredstraightforward

This provision mandates that the Secretary of the Interior must, within 90 days of the bill's enactment, issue a formal, recordable document disclaiming any U.S. government interest in a specific 15.12-acre parcel of land located in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. This land was originally platted under an outdated and repealed federal statute (section 2387 of the Revised Statutes). The purpose of this disclaimer is to remove any federal claim that might complicate the land's transfer or ownership. Importantly, the disclaimer explicitly states that it does not apply to any portion of the land that lies within the existing boundary of the Kootenai Indian Reservation.
