It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill directs the Forest Service to convey specified property to Gila County, Arizona, upon the county's submission of a written request for such conveyance. The property, identified as the Gila County Area, consists of approximately 232.9 acres of National Forest System land located in the Tonto National Forest in Arizona.
The county must use the land for the purposes of serving and supporting veterans. If any land conveyed under this bill ceases to be used for such purpose, all right, title, and interest in and to the land shall revert to the United States, at the discretion of the Forest Service.
The conveyance must be made with a quitclaim deed and without consideration (value, such as payment, provided in exchange for the property).
The Forest Service must not be required to provide any covenant or warranty for the land and improvements conveyed to the county under such conveyance.
