To provide for reconciliation pursuant to title II of H. Con. Res. 14, Sec. 50101

The section requires a replacement sale in the same fiscal year where a required sale is canceled, delayed or deferred, including for a lack of eligible parcels, or where at least 25 percent of the acreage offered at a sale draws no bid.

That sentence, in plain words

The Interior Secretary must hold another sale that same year. The two tests that follow say when.

What this is about

One test is that the sale was called off or put back. That includes a shortage of land to offer. The other is that a quarter of the acres drew no bid.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
