A bill to amend the Act of October 20, 1976 (90 Stat. 2662), as amended.

Summary

Repeals Federal law providing that entitlement lands (those lands eligible for payments in lieu of taxes) located within two local government units shall be treated, for specified purposes, as being within the jurisdiction of the smaller of such units. Redefines "unit of local government" to limit the meaning to the principal provider of local governmental services affecting the use of public lands. Includes within such meaning: (1) a county, townships, parish, or borough existing in the State of Alaska on October 20, 1976; or (2) a city which is not within the boundaries of any other local governmental unit. Invokes the sovereign immunity of the United States to preclude any legal actions regarding specified payment distributions made before January 1, 1983.
