To modify the boundaries of the Talladega National Forest, and for other purposes.

# Summary of HR 2740 **What the Bill Does** HR 2740 would change the official boundaries of the Talladega National Forest in Alabama. While the bill's full text isn't provided here, boundary modifications typically involve either expanding or reducing the forest's protected area, transferring land between federal and private ownership, or adjusting which lands fall under national forest management. **Who It Affects** This legislation would impact Alabama residents, landowners near the forest, timber companies, outdoor enthusiasts, and federal land managers.

Depending on the specific boundary changes, it could affect property rights, public access to recreation areas, forest management practices, and local economic activities like logging or tourism. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it's still in early stages of review and hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was introduced by Representative Mike Rogers (R-AL), whose district includes the Talladega National Forest area.
