Tulare Youth Recreation and Women’s History Enhancement Act
United States119th CongressHR-8913House of Representatives
Updated: Jul 1, 2026
Summary
This legislation, titled the "Tulare Youth Recreation and Women's History Enhancement Act," aims to facilitate the City of Tulare, California, obtaining clear title to two specific land parcels within its business corridor. These parcels are currently leased by the City and host an outdoor recreation facility for youth and a historic women's club. The City desires to improve and restore these facilities but is unable to do so without clear title, as the United States retains a reversionary interest from an 1866 federal grant to a railroad. The bill authorizes the conveyance of and relinquishes the United States' reversionary interest in these parcels, which were originally granted to the Railroad in 1866. This relinquishment becomes effective once the Union Pacific Railroad conveys the parcels to the City of Tulare. This action promotes recreational opportunities for youth and commemorates women's history by allowing the City to develop and maintain these important community facilities, with the Secretary of the Interior executing the necessary documentation and existing public access rights preserved.
