To direct the Surface Transportation Board to require any high-speed rail project to acquire all land for the project before starting construction, and for other purposes.

This bill prohibits the Surface Transportation Board from approving a high-speed passenger railroad or magnetic levitation system project unless the project has a distance of at least 10 miles and the land needed for the project is acquired.

Bill 117 hr 6365, also known as the "High-Speed Rail Land Acquisition Act," aims to address the issue of land acquisition for high-speed rail projects in the United States. The bill directs the Surface Transportation Board to mandate that any high-speed rail project must acquire all necessary land for the project before beginning construction.

The purpose of this requirement is to streamline the process of land acquisition for high-speed rail projects and to ensure that all necessary land is secured before construction begins. This is intended to prevent delays and complications that can arise when land acquisition is not completed in advance.

In addition to the requirement for land acquisition, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to high-speed rail projects. These additional purposes are not specified in the summary provided, but may include provisions related to funding, oversight, or other aspects of high-speed rail development. Overall, Bill 117 hr 6365 seeks to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of high-speed rail projects in the United States by ensuring that all necessary land is acquired before construction begins. This could potentially lead to smoother project implementation and reduced costs and delays.
