To require the Secretary of Agriculture to convey a parcel of property of the Forest Service to Perry County, Arkansas, and for other purposes.
Summary
H.R. 3187 would require the Secretary of Agriculture to convey a specific parcel of property currently owned by the Forest Service to Perry County, Arkansas. The bill focuses on a land transfer from federal to local government control in Arkansas.
The practical effect of this legislation, if enacted, would be to shift ownership and management responsibility of the designated Forest Service property from the federal government to Perry County. This would allow the county to determine how the land is used going forward, potentially for local development, conservation, or other county priorities.
The bill has already passed the House of Representatives and is currently under review in the Senate, where it has been placed on the legislative calendar for consideration. The Senate will need to vote on whether to approve this land transfer before it could be sent to the President for signature.
