What this bill would do
This bill is called the Stockdale Mountain Land Conveyance Act. It directs the Secretary of the Interior to offer a specific 2,000-acre parcel of Bureau of Land Management land in Monterey County, California, for sale to the public. The sale must happen within two years using competitive bidding procedures and must bring in at least the fair market value of the land based on an appraisal. The money made from selling this land will be used by the Secretary to award competitive grants. These grants will go to state governments, local governments, or nonprofit organizations for wildlife habitat protection, restoration, and related conservation activities, with priority given to Stockdale Mountain and southern Monterey County.
