The bill aims to transfer federal land to the State of Mississippi for its use, as specified. The Act ensures a quitclaim deed will convey the described land without compensation, as directed by the Secretary of the Interior. This may impact the management and utilization of the specified federal land, potentially affecting activities within the Vicksburg National Military Park boundary.
Vicksburg National Military Park Boundary Modification Act
This bill directs the Department of the Interior to convey approximately 7 acres of specified land (in two parcels) within the Vicksburg National Military Park to Mississippi for an interpretive center.
The conveyed land must facilitate public access to the park, may not be used in a manner that adversely impacts the park's resources or visitor experience, and remains subject to any use restriction that Interior determines is appropriate.
Interior must convey the land by quitclaim deed and without consideration, such as payment. Upon the conveyance of the land, Interior must modify the park's boundary to exclude the land.
