Senators Martin Heinrich (D-NM) and Jeff Flake (R-AZ) introduced legislation to improve land management and enhance education revenue in the western United States.
S. 3316, the Advancing Conservation and Education (ACE) Act provides opportunities for states to swap state trust lands contained within parks, wilderness, and other conservation areas for other Federal lands with lower conservation values and greater development potential. This will protect the integrity of federal conservation areas while providing states with new sources of revenue for education.
