What this bill does
H.R. 10190, the Pennington County Land Conveyance Act, would direct the Secretary of Agriculture, acting through the Chief of the Forest Service, to transfer a specific parcel of National Forest System land — approximately 8.97 acres located within the Black Hills National Forest — to Pennington County, South Dakota. The land would be conveyed without payment, though the Secretary could attach terms and conditions deemed appropriate. Once the transfer occurs, the Forest Service would be required to adjust the official boundary of the Black Hills National Forest to reflect the removal of this parcel.
The bill directly affects Pennington County, which would gain ownership of the land for use as a public works facility or for other purposes the county determines necessary. It also affects the U.S. Forest Service, which manages the Black Hills National Forest and would lose jurisdiction over this specific parcel. No other federal programs, funding, or private parties are addressed in the text.
The bill was introduced on August 31, 2026, by Representative Dusty Johnson of South Dakota and referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources. As an introduced bill, it has not yet been voted on; it would need to be considered and approved by the committee, then by the full House and Senate, and signed by the President before becoming law.
