What H.R. 3187 does
H.R. 3187 would direct the Forest Service to convey about one acre of land to Perry County, Arkansas, when the county asks for it. The county would have to use the land for public purposes, such as supporting education and youth development, and the property could revert to the United States at the Forest Service's discretion if it stops being used that way.
The county would pay the costs of the transfer, including a survey and any required environmental and historic preservation analysis. The Forest Service would not have to provide any covenant or warranty for the property.
