House Bills

The Senate took up two House bills together by unanimous consent, including a bill directing the Forest Service to transfer about 233 acres of Tonto National Forest land in Gila County, Arizona, to the county, which would use it to serve veterans, with the land reverting to the federal government if it stops being used for that purpose. Senator Mike Lee asked that the bills be considered, read a third time, and passed as a group without debate. No objection was raised.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
