Plain Language Summary

# Not One More Inch or Acre Act (S 176) Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would prevent the federal government from acquiring any new land or water resources. If passed, it would essentially freeze federal land purchases at current levels, stopping the government from buying additional property beyond what it already owns. **Who It Affects:** The bill would impact federal land management agencies (like the National Park Service and Forest Service), conservation organizations, state governments, and landowners who might have sold property to the federal government.

It could also affect outdoor recreation, environmental conservation efforts, and public access to natural resources. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee (S 176, 119th Congress), meaning it has been introduced but has not yet advanced to a full Senate vote. No action has been taken since introduction. **Note:** The bill's title suggests a focus on limiting federal land expansion, though specific details about exceptions or implementation mechanisms are not provided in the available information.
