To require the Secretary of Agriculture to convey the Pleasant Valley Ranger District Administrative Site to Gila County, Arizona.

Plain-English Summary

This bill would require the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to transfer ownership of a specific piece of federal property — the Pleasant Valley Ranger District Administrative Site — to Gila County, Arizona. In other words, the federal government would hand over this land and any buildings or facilities on it to the local county government. The bill uses the word "convey," which simply means to officially transfer ownership from one party to another.

The Pleasant Valley Ranger District is part of the U.S. Forest Service system, and its administrative site likely includes office buildings or operational facilities used to manage nearby national forest lands. By passing this bill, Congress would direct the Agriculture Secretary to complete this land transfer, meaning the federal government would no longer own or manage the property — Gila County would take over responsibility for it instead.

This bill primarily affects Gila County, Arizona, and the federal government. Local residents and officials in Gila County could gain access to and control over this property, potentially repurposing it for local government or community needs. The federal government, meanwhile, would give up ownership and any costs associated with maintaining the site. The bill has moved through the House and is currently being considered by the Senate's Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, where it was approved with an amendment.
