WHAT THE BILL DOES
AI-written
This bill matters because it changes who owns a piece of land in Perryville, Arkansas, shifting it from federal control (U.S. Forest Service) to local control (Perry County). This means the local community, through its county government, would have the authority to decide how to use this land, but only for specific public benefits like education or youth programs.
If this bill becomes law, Perry County could use the land to address local needs or expand services, potentially creating new opportunities for its residents. If it doesn't pass, the land would remain under federal ownership, and the county would not have the ability to develop it for local public projects without purchasing it or going through a different process.
KEY PROVISIONS
5AI-extracted
PROVISION 01
Requires the Secretary of Agriculture to transfer a specific 0.81-acre parcel of Forest Service land in Perryville, Arkansas, to Perry County.
This directly changes the ownership of federal land to local government control.
PROVISION 02
Perry County must submit a written request within 180 days of the bill becoming law for the conveyance to occur.
This sets a clear deadline for the county to act to receive the property.
PROVISION 03
The land will be conveyed to Perry County for free, but the county must pay all costs related to the transfer, including surveys and environmental reviews.
This shifts the financial burden of the transfer process from the federal government to the local county.
PROVISION 04
The conveyed property must be used only for public purposes, such as supporting education and youth development.
This restricts how the county can use the land, ensuring it benefits the community in specific ways.
PROVISION 05
If the property is no longer used for public purposes as specified, it can revert back to the United States government.
This provides a mechanism for the federal government to reclaim the land if its intended public use is abandoned.
