§ 14665 State Land Exchange Grants

• •The state can trade its land with the U.S. government if both sides agree.
• •The state official in charge decides if the trade is good for the state.
• •Any new land the state gets in the trade follows the same rules as other similar state land.

The state owns a small piece of land near a forest, and the U.S. government owns a bigger piece of land near a lake. The state might trade its small land to get the bigger, better land by the lake.

If the state official thinks the lake land is more useful for the state (like for a park or camping), they can agree to the trade. After the trade, the new lake land will follow all the same rules as other state park land.
