(2) Any person who has purchased from the United States or entered any subject lands prior to the execution of United States patents to this state for the subject lands, may whenever those entries have been canceled by the United States on account of a conflict with the right and title of this state to the subject lands, purchase the subject lands from this state, prior to the date fixed for the public sale of the subject lands, upon making satisfactory proof to the board that the person is the identical person, or the heir, legal representative, or assign of the person, who purchased or entered the subject lands as provided in this subsection, and upon paying to this state for the subject lands the same price at which the purchase or entries were made from the United States. Nothing contained in this chapter impairs the rights acquired by any person who has preempted any subject lands under the laws of this state.
