(This measure has not been amended since it was reported to the House on October 6, 2015. The summary of that version is repeated here.)

(Sec. 1) This bill declares that the approximately one-acre portion of specified land transferred by the United States to Rockingham County, Virginia, that is used for purposes of a child care center, shall not be subject to the use restriction imposed in the deed for the transferred land.

Eliminated is the requirement for the county to include information concerning the use of the transferred land for a child care center in biennial reports to the Department of the Interior.
