To modify the boundaries of the Talladega National Forest, and for other purposes.
HR 2740 modifies the boundaries of Talladega National Forest to include specific land shown on a map dated September 6, 2024. The bill authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to acquire this land through voluntary means - such as purchase, donation, or exchange - using existing land acquisition authorities like the Weeks Law, and requires funds to be used without undue delay. The newly acquired land must be managed as part of the National Forest System under applicable laws and regulations. This change directly affects the forest's geographic scope and landowners within the designated boundary who may sell or donate property.
