The Public Lands Integrity Act proposes to amend Section 313(b)(1) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974, which defines what constitutes an "extraneous" provision under the Byrd Rule. This amendment specifically adds a new criterion, designating any provision that results in the sale, disposal, or transfer of Federal lands as extraneous. The primary purpose of this change is to prevent such land-related provisions from being included in budget reconciliation bills. By applying the Byrd Rule to these provisions, the bill seeks to ensure that federal land transactions are not passed through expedited reconciliation procedures, thereby requiring them to undergo regular legislative scrutiny.
