Plain-language change summary

The amendment to the bill S. 2433 removes specific definitions related to federal real property and landholding agencies, and it also eliminates language regarding the development of interagency standards for federal databases concerning real property. Additionally, it modifies the provisions about cost-sharing agreements with states to include non-federal land in the cadastre. This change simplifies the language and structure of the bill, potentially streamlining the process for states to collaborate in managing land data.
