Full Analysis
HR 655, the Dalles Watershed Development Act, directs the Secretary of Agriculture to convey approximately 150 acres of National Forest System land in the Mount Hood National Forest to the City of The Dalles, Oregon, via quitclaim deed and without consideration. The city must request the conveyance within one year of enactment and pay all administrative costs, including a survey. The bill was introduced by Rep. Cliff Bentz (R-OR-2) on January 23, 2025, referred to the House Committee on Natural Resources, and reported (amended) on September 15, 2025. No further legislative action has occurred since that report. The bill authorizes no spending, creates no new programs, and involves no private companies. It is a routine, local land transfer with zero market implications for publicly traded companies. The only potential indirect effect is on local infrastructure development in The Dalles, but no public companies are named or affected. The bill's progress is stalled post-reporting, and it faces an uncertain path to enactment in the 119th Congress.
