A bill to require the Secretary of Agriculture to release a reversionary interest in certain land in the Black River State Forest in Millston, Wisconsin, and for other purposes.

# Bill Summary: Black River State Forest Land Transfer This bill would require the U.S. Department of Agriculture to release its legal claim to a specific parcel of land in the Black River State Forest near Millston, Wisconsin. When the government originally acquired this land, it retained what's called a "reversionary interest"—meaning the land would revert back to the government if certain conditions weren't met. This bill would eliminate that government claim, allowing the land to be fully transferred to the state of Wisconsin or its designated owner without any federal strings attached. The bill primarily affects Wisconsin landowners or the state government who currently control or wish to control the affected property.

By removing the government's reversionary interest, the bill would give the state or property owners more complete ownership and control over how the land is managed and used. The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full Senate. It was introduced by Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin).
