Senate Bill 3213 is an omninibus bill, a compilation of 90 bills. Chuck Kushman is the Executive Director of the American Land Rights Association. He says some are good, but some are a blatant land grab, like the part of the bill that creates the National Landscape Conservation System.

Kushman says the bill also contains language that would give the Army Corps of Engineers the power to tell landowners what they can or cannot do with their property, if there is water of any kind on or underneath that property, which applies to all of us.
