Acre In, Acre Out Act

The Acre In, Acre Out Act requires the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture to offset any new land acquisition by federal agencies (like National Parks or Forest Service) by selling an equal amount of existing federal land, preventing net growth in managed acreage. Exemptions apply to easements acquired for land management purposes, such as trail maintenance. Proceeds from these sales must be deposited directly into the Treasury to reduce the national debt, with land sold at fair market value and subject to 10% monthly price reductions after six months if unsold.
