Local Opportunities, Conservation, and American Lands Act or the LOCAL Act

The Department of the Interior shall study the feasibility of relocating more existing BLM employee positions to Grand Junction or Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, or Wyoming. Interior must determine, among other things, whether such relocation will improve management of federal lands, increase coordination with local communities, and strengthen tourism, conservation, outdoor recreation, grazing, or responsible energy production.
