What it does
This bill directs the Secretary of Agriculture, acting through the Forest Service, to transfer about 150 acres of National Forest System land in the Mount Hood National Forest to the City of The Dalles, Oregon.
This bill directs the Secretary of Agriculture, acting through the Forest Service, to transfer about 150 acres of National Forest System land in the Mount Hood National Forest to the City of The Dalles, Oregon. The transfer happens only if the City files a written request within one year of enactment. The land is conveyed for no payment, by quitclaim deed, and subject to valid existing rights, and the City must pay all costs including the survey. The City must use the land for public purposes such as municipal water supply and related infrastructure, and title reverts to the United States if the land is used in any other way.
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 9 quarterly reports filed by 2 lobbying firms and by 1 organization lobbying for itself in 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 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: The Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation of Oregon; Columbia Riverkeeper. 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.
