30 x 30 Termination Act

No federal funds may be used to implement, administer, enforce, or carry out any report or program substantially similar to the report or program of such provision.
No federal funds may be used to implement, administer, enforce, or carry out any action on federal land that results in a net-loss of multiple use or any principal or major use, unless such action has been authorized by an act of Congress.
No federal funds may be used by a federal agency to acquire more than 160 acres of nonfederal land unless
