Not single-subject. The bill couples a specific land sale to an unrelated nationwide policy review. A yes vote carries both the conveyance of one 14-acre parcel to a named private LLC (Section 2, directed at the Secretary of Agriculture) and a comprehensive federal permitting review of the entire stone, sand, and gravel sector on federal lands (Section 3, directed at the Secretary of the Interior). The two sections share an aggregate-industry theme but impose distinct obligations on different officials.

Congress orders the sale of about 14 acres of national forest land to a private company. The Secretary of Agriculture must convey the parcel in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in Wisconsin to Tony's Wabeno Redi-Mix, LLC, including mineral rights, if the company offers to buy it at appraised market value. The company must pay the market value plus all costs of the sale, including the survey, the appraisal, and any required environmental analysis. The conveyance is made by quitclaim deed, subject to valid existing rights. A separate section directs the Secretary of the Interior to study federal permitting for stone, sand, and gravel development on federal lands nationwide and report findings and streamlining recommendations to two congressional committees within 180 days.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 2 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 3 quarterly reports filed by 2 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q2, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
The organizations named: National Taxpayers Union; Trout Unlimited. Listed as filed. They are every client name on the filings counted here.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
