(b) Acquisition of interest in land by certain officers or employees of Department of Agriculture prohibited; 3-year period Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, no officer or employee of the Department of Agriculture who acts on or reviews an application made by any person under this chapter for a loan to purchase land may acquire, directly or indirectly, any interest in such land for a period of three years after the date on which such action is taken or such review is made.

Editorial Notes

References in TextThis chapter, referred to in subsecs. (a) and (b), was in the original “this title”, meaning title III of Pub. L. 87128, Aug. 8, 1961, 75 Stat. 307, known as the Consolidated Farm and Rural Development Act, which is classified principally to this chapter. For complete classification of title III to the Code, see Short Title note set out under section 1921 of this title and Tables.

Amendments2002—Subsec. (b). Pub. L. 107171 struck out “provided for in section 1982 of this title” after “former member of a county committee”. 1984—Pub. L. 98258 designated first, second, and third sentences of existing provisions as subsecs. (a), (c), and (d), respectively, and added subsec. (b).
