This bill amends the boundaries of the Jonesville Public Use Area in Alaska, designating specific state-owned lands and waters for public use. The updated boundaries include various sections within Townships 19 and 20 North, Ranges 2 and 3 East of the Seward Meridian. Notably, the bill removes a previous provision regarding the North 960 feet of the East 1,815 feet of the NW1/4 for each record of survey filed as 86-85RS P.R.D. and adds a new section that includes the N1/2NW1/4 of Section 21 in Township 19 North, Range 3 East.

The bill emphasizes that the designated lands are reserved for uses compatible with their primary function as public use land and assigns management control to the relevant department. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage, ensuring prompt implementation of the new boundaries for the Jonesville Public Use Area.
