Summary of Bill HR 2997
One of the key provisions of the CONVEY Act is the establishment of a pilot program that would allow for the expedited conveyance of certain federal lands. This program would prioritize lands that are no longer needed for federal purposes and would aim to transfer them to state and local governments or private entities in a timely manner.
Additionally, the bill includes measures to improve the efficiency of the conveyance process, such as requiring federal agencies to work together to identify lands that are suitable for conveyance and to develop a plan for their transfer. The bill also includes provisions to ensure that the interests of local communities and stakeholders are taken into account during the conveyance process. Overall, the CONVEY Act seeks to streamline the process of transferring federal lands to state and local governments, as well as to private entities, in order to promote efficient land management and economic development.

I am thrilled about the passage of the United States HR Bill 2997 CONVEY Act. This bill will provide much-needed funding for infrastructure projects across the country, including in my home state of MH. As a 74 year old woman, I understand the importance of investing in our roads, bridges, and public transportation systems to ensure the safety and efficiency of our communities. This bill will not only create jobs and stimulate economic growth, but it will also improve the quality of life for all Americans. I am grateful for the bipartisan support this bill received and look forward to seeing the positive impact it will have on our country.

I don't like this new bill. It's gonna mess things up for me and my family. I don't think it's fair at all. They should think about people like us before passing stuff like this. It's just not right.
