To amend title 54, United States Code, to prohibit the acquisition of land, water, or an interest in land or water from a private landowner using amounts made available under the Land and Water Conservation Fund.

HR 9430 amends the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) program to prohibit states from using federal LWCF funds to purchase land, water, or related interests directly from private landowners. This restriction applies specifically to states receiving financial assistance under the LWCF program. The bill adds a new provision (Section 200305(l)) explicitly banning such acquisitions and updates related sections to reflect this limitation. It directly affects state conservation programs funded through the LWCF by restricting how those funds can be spent on land purchases.
