Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
This bill directs the Secretary of Agriculture to transfer approximately 24 acres of Dixie National Forest land to Brian Head Town, Utah. The conveyance is to be made without consideration, subject to any terms and conditions the Secretary deems appropriate, for use as a public works facility or other town-determined uses.
Progressives emphasize environmental loss and public-access safeguards.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a narrowly scoped statutory conveyance that identifies the parcel, parties, and primary action but leaves most procedural, fiscal, legal, and oversight specifics to executive discretion.

After conveyance, the Secretary must modify the Dixie National Forest boundary to reflect the transfer.
Very narrow, routine conveyance with limited fiscal impact; usually succeeds if uncontroversial and supported locally, but may need packaging.

Skeptical but not uniformly opposed.
The parcel is small and for a town public purpose, which is potentially defensible, but the unconditional transfer of public forest land raises environmental and public-access concerns.
Support would depend on strong environmental safeguards and public-interest protections.
Generally favorable if procedural safeguards are followed.
The parcel is small and local governments often need land for public works, but the transfer should include clear terms, environmental review, and protections of federal interests.
Supportive.
The bill returns a small parcel of federal land to local control without cost, reducing federal footprint and enabling local decision‑making for public needs.
Terms and conditions are acceptable as usual oversight.
