Land transfer for veterans in Arizona

Energy & Utilities

What the bill does

This bill requires the U.S. Forest Service to give about 233 acres of land in Arizona's Tonto National Forest to Gila County for free. The county must use the land only to support veterans. If the county uses it for anything else, the land goes back to the government.

Why it matters

The stakes

This bill transfers federal land to a local government for a specific purpose. It affects how public land is used and who controls it, and it sets aside land for veterans' services.
