Section 3. Patents for public lands

Patents for public lands

The provisions of the Enabling Act (36 Stat 557, 563) which prohibit the granting of a patent for a portion of a tract of public lands under sales contract because the full consideration for the entire tract is not or was not paid, are waived with respect to the following sales:
A. sale of a portion of a tract under sales contract, if the patent to that portion was issued on or before September 4, 1956;
B. sale of a portion of a tract under sales contract, if the right to purchase the portion is derived from an assignment made on or before September 4, 1956; or
C. sale of a portion of a tract under sales contract, or under a contract entered into in substitution of such contract, if the right to purchase all other portions of the tract were assigned or relinquished on or before September 4, 1956 by the person holding the contract.
The legislature may enact laws to carry out the purposes of this amendment.
