AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of the Interior, through the Bureau of Land Management, to give Crook County, Oregon, a permanent 80-foot wide right-of-way from Oregon Route 380 to Juniper Canyon Road, if the County asks for it, so the County can build a new public road in Juniper Canyon. It would also require the federal government, at the County's request, to transfer four federal land parcels of about 40 acres each to the County at no charge. The County would have to use and maintain these parcels mainly as fire safe zones for emergency response and firefighting, and would pay all costs of the transfer. If the County stops maintaining the land as fire safe zones, ownership would return to the United States.
