To require the Secretary of Agriculture to convey a parcel of property of the Forest Service to Perry County, Arkansas, and for other purposes.
Introduced May 5, 2025 · Received in the Senate. Read twice. Placed on Senate Legislative Calendar under General Orders. Calendar No. 295.
What does this mean?

The U.S. Forest Service — the federal agency that manages national forest land — would hand over about one acre of that land to Perry County, Arkansas, for free, if the county asks for it. The county would need to use the land for public purposes like education or youth programs, and if it ever stopped doing that, the government could take the land back. Perry County, not federal taxpayers, would have to cover the costs of surveying the land and doing any required environmental or historical reviews before the transfer happens.
