In plain English
The Forest Service must transfer about 233 acres of National Forest land in Arizona to Gila County if the county requests it in writing, provided the county uses the land to serve and support veterans. Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) introduced the bill, which requires the county to pay all costs associated with the transfer and stipulates that the land reverts to the federal government if it stops being used for veteran services. The property transfer requires no payment from the county to the Forest Service, and the Forest Service provides no guarantees about the land's condition.
