AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill concerns about 31.83 acres of land in the Black River State Forest in Millston, Wisconsin. The federal government currently holds a legal right requiring this land to be used for public purposes forever. If Wisconsin agrees in writing to trade this land to Deli, Inc., a sphagnum moss business, in exchange for about 37.27 acres the company owns or has an option to buy, the federal right would be released. The Secretary of Agriculture would then give the state a quitclaim deed, without payment, showing the release, and the land Deli, Inc. provides would be added to the state forest.
