A bill to facilitate the conveyance of certain land in Bonners Ferry, Idaho, platted under section 2387 of the Revised Statutes, and for other purposes.

S. 5374, introduced August 7, 2026, by Sen. James Risch of Idaho, is a bill to facilitate the conveyance of certain land in Bonners Ferry, Idaho, that was originally platted under section 2387 of the Revised Statutes — a 19th-century federal statute governing the survey and platting of townsites on public land. Beyond this stated purpose, the bill's specific mechanisms, such as who would receive the land, any conditions on the transfer, or acreage involved, are not yet available in the published text.

The bill would primarily affect the federal government, as the current landholder, and the town of Bonners Ferry, Idaho, along with any local government, entity, or residents connected to the platted parcels. Because the full text has not been published, the precise scope of who benefits or how the conveyance would work cannot be described further at this time.

The bill was introduced in the U.S. Senate on August 7, 2026, and its most recent action is that introduction. As with any bill, it would typically be referred to a relevant Senate committee for consideration; whether it has been referred, and to which committee, is not specified in the information available. Its next steps — including committee review, potential amendment, and any vote — will depend on future action not yet reflected in the record.
