HR 837 directs the Secretary of Agriculture, through the Forest Service, to transfer the 232.9-acre Pleasant Valley Ranger District Administrative Site in Tonto National Forest to Gila County, Arizona, at no cost via a quitclaim deed. The transfer happens only if the county requests it within 180 days of enactment, and the land must be used to serve military veterans or ownership reverts to the federal government.
This affects Gila County, Arizona residents and officials, particularly veterans who may use services or facilities on the land, as well as the Forest Service, which currently manages the site.
The transfer shifts long-term management, maintenance, and legal responsibility for the land from the federal government to Gila County, with use permanently restricted to veterans' purposes.
