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.

# Summary of HR 5866 **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would require the U.S. Department of Agriculture to give up a legal claim it holds on certain land in the Black River State Forest near Millston, Wisconsin. When land is transferred with a "reversionary interest," it means the federal government retains the right to take the land back under certain conditions. This bill would eliminate that federal claim, allowing full ownership to transfer to the state or another party without the possibility of federal reclamation. **Who It Affects and Key Details** The bill primarily affects Wisconsin and whoever currently owns or manages the affected land in Black River State Forest.

The specific acreage and current ownership details are not provided in the bill summary. This is a fairly narrow, localized measure that deals with a property rights issue rather than broader policy changes. **Current Status** HR 5866 was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Derrick Van Orden (R-Wisconsin) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House. The bill remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
