HR 952 lets Sacramento landowners pay to clear a leftover 1862 federal land claim on their property.
45-second read · 5 questions answered below
This bill addresses about 8.43 acres in Sacramento, California, where the federal government still holds a "reversionary interest" dating to an 1862 railroad land grant law. It requires the Bureau of Land Management to remove that claim within two years if a landowner requests it and pays fair market value plus related costs. Existing railroad rights-of-way are unaffected, and no new possession-based property rights are created.
This affects property owners within the specific 8.43-acre area of Sacramento who want clear title to their land. It does not affect landowners outside that defined area.
The change would resolve a legal technicality that lets the federal government theoretically reclaim privately used land under old conditions, giving affected owners unclouded ownership.
