What the chamber passed
Paducah Land Restriction Removal Act
Official title: To remove restrictions from a parcel of land in Paducah, Kentucky.
What this does
The bill directs the Secretary of the Interior to remove the deed restrictions on a roughly 3.62-acre parcel at 2956 Park Avenue in Paducah, Kentucky, part of the former Paducah Memorial Army Reserve Center, that were placed on a 2012 quitclaim deed conveying the land to the City of Paducah. In removing those restrictions, the Secretary must reserve new conditions in their place: the City may not transfer or sell the parcel to anyone except the Oscar Cross Boys and Girls Club of Paducah, and if the City does transfer it to the Club, the Club must first offer to convey the parcel back to the Secretary at no cost before conveying it to any other entity. Any new use of the parcel must remain compatible with public use or recreation.

Reported lobbying
No organization named this measure in a lobbying filing we could read with confidence.
That is not a finding that nobody lobbied it. The disclosure form takes a free text description of the issue, and a reference that could not be pinned to exactly one measure is refused rather than guessed. This bill may have been lobbied without being named, or named in words we would not risk reading as this bill.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1 and 2026 Q2. Our copy holds 2 fewer filings for 2025 Q4 and 7 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q3 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
