What does this do?
This bill directs the Secretary of Agriculture to release the federal government's reversionary interest in about 31.83 acres of Black River State Forest land near Millston, Wisconsin. This release is conditioned on Wisconsin agreeing to trade that land to Deli, Inc., a sphagnum moss producer, in exchange for about 37.27 acres of land Deli, Inc. owns or has rights to. Once the swap occurs, the land Deli, Inc. gives up becomes part of the state forest.
Who does it affect?
This affects Wisconsin's Department of Natural Resources, Deli, Inc. (a small business), and the federal Department of Agriculture.
Why does it matter?
The bill removes a federal legal obstacle that was blocking finalization of an already-negotiated state-private land exchange. It applies only to this single property transaction in Jackson County, Wisconsin, with no broader policy change.
