Maloy: Targeted lands needed by local governments for infrastructure | 2025-05-07 | 2025 | 2025-05 | Republican | House | UT | Celeste Maloy | M001228 | maloy.house.gov | maloy | https://maloy.house.gov/news/documentquery.aspx?DocumentTypeID=27 | scraper | During a House Natural Resources Committee hearing on the committee’s reconciliation package, which includes $18.5 billion in savings, Rep. Celeste Maloy (UT-02) spoke in support of her amendment that would allow fair market values sales of targeted land in Washington County and Beaver County. Maloy: Mr. Chairman, the underlying bill before this committee today generates revenue from numerous federal assets, from oil and gas sale leases for both onshore and offshore, to other federal fees to be paid, all of which will bring revenue to the Treasury for debt and deficit reduction. Naturally, it makes sense to also look at federal assets that can generate revenue from other non-mineral related federal lands, and we can do this without impacting any specially designated lands or other conservation related lands. Not all federal lands have the same value. Some should not be available for disposal. We all agree on that. However, in both Democratic and Republican administrations, for decades, we've been disposing of appropriate lands in a manner that's consistent with what I propose to do here. This has taken place in the Biden, Trump, Obama, Bush and Clinton administrations. This provision identifies specific lands where we can generate revenue in locations that are appropriate, that will also generate a strong financial yield to the Treasury due to local growth and will do so while serving community public purposes by selling targeted parcels for fair market value to local government entities for infrastructure needs. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T00:49:36Z |
