A bill to authorize the conveyance by the Secretary of the Army of certain property located in Paris, Texas, and for other purposes.
This bill (S 5554) authorizes the U.S. Army to transfer a 4-acre parcel of land - the former Boyle Memorial Army Reserve Center in Paris, Texas - to Paris Junior College. The college must pay the fair market value of the property, which can be covered by cash, in-kind contributions (like facility improvements or services for the Army), or a mix of both. The transfer includes requirements for the college to cover related costs (e.g., surveys, environmental documentation), with excess payments refunded. As a property conveyance bill, it does not create new policy but facilitates the transfer of federal land to a local educational institution.
