Transparency in Federal Land Acquisitions Act

Summary

The bill forces the director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to post draft land protection plans in the Federal Register at least 60 days before finalizing them and to allow the public to submit written comments. It applies to all new land protection plans except small refuge expansions under 50 acres or less than 15% of the refuge’s size. The goal is to increase transparency and public participation in federal land acquisitions.
