Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, has introduced a scaled-back version of his proposal to make some public lands eligible for sale after the last version was shut down by the Senate Parliamentarian.
The new language, released earlier this week, calls for the selection “for disposal not less than .25% and not more than .50% of Bureau of Land Management Land” within 60 days of the bill’s approval. Additional lists of eligible lands would be published every 60 days after that until the acreage requirement is met. The revised draft strikes National Forest System land from eligibility.
