Summary

Establishes the Barrier Islands National Parks. Authorizes the Secretary of the Interior to acquire lands within the boundaries of the barrier islands units except that the Secretary may acquire developed land only with the consent of the owner or following a determination by the Secretary that an actual or proposed change in the use of such land would impair the quality of the unit. Withdraws lands within the barrier islands units from entry or appropriation under U.S. mining laws and from the operation of the mineral leasing laws subject to valid existing rights. Prohibits any Federal agency from providing financial assistance or issuing any form of approval for: (1) the construction of any structure, road, or facility of any type on any barrier island unit of the Atlantic or gulf coast of the United States; (2) any road, airport, boat landing facility or other facility to be used for providing access to any such barrier island contrary to the purposes of this Act; (3) any project to prevent the erosion of, or to otherwise stabilize, any shoreline or inshore area of such a barrier island, and (4) the replacement, reconstruction, or repair of any property owned by any person other than the United States if such property is located on a barrier island and damaged or destroyed by a natural disaster. Authorizes appropriations to carry out the provisions of this Act.
