Bottom line

This bill facilitates the transfer of specific land in Bonners Ferry, Idaho, by formally disclaiming the federal government's interest in it, while protecting the 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, known as "Eaton." This land was originally platted under a repealed statute (43 U.S.C. 718). The disclaimer explicitly excludes any portion of this 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 in Bonners Ferry, Idaho. This land, historically referred to as "Eaton" and platted under an outdated statute, will then be free from federal claim, simplifying its conveyance to other parties. Importantly, the disclaimer explicitly states that it does not apply to any part of this land that is located within the Kootenai Indian Reservation.
