The present Act requires the Mariana Public Land Corporation to waive prior requirements or limitations regarding agricultural homesteads for persons that can demonstrate that for a continuous period of 15 years they have actually occupied public land and used for agricultural purposes. This change in law strenghtens rights of persons that have been relocated by the Government in respect of land occupied by them. The land in question shall be transferred by the Corporation by deed to the persons that have occupied the land.
