HR-9139 : Still Just a Bill

H.R. 9139, cited as "To authorize the Secretary of the Navy to convey or lease certain parcels of land at Defense Fuel Support Point San Pedro, Los Angeles, California, and for other purposes," aims to facilitate land conveyance and interim leasing at the Defense Fuel Support Point San Pedro in Los Angeles, California. Key provisions include:

• Land Conveyance Authorization: Authorizes the Secretary of the Navy to convey specific parcels of land, including ballfields and a firing range, to the city of Los Angeles or the city of Lomita at a cost less than fair market value.
• Purpose of Conveyance: Specifies that the conveyed land is to be used for park and recreational activities or law enforcement affiliated purposes, depending on the parcel.
• Interim Lease: Allows the Secretary of the Navy to lease the parcels to either city at no cost for up to three years until the conveyance is finalized.
• Consideration: Requires the city of Los Angeles or the city of Lomita to provide consideration for the conveyance, which may include cash payment, in-kind contributions like property improvements, or services to Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach.
• Conditions and Restrictions: Stipulates that the conveyed property must be used for its intended purposes, prohibits the use of Federal funds for conveyance costs, and includes a reversionary clause if the land is not used accordingly.
• Exclusion of Prior Screening Requirements: Waives requirements for prior screenings related to homeless assistance.

In essence, this bill seeks to transfer land from the Department of the Navy to the cities of Los Angeles or Lomita for public use, subject to specific conditions and considerations.
