This bill would let a Wisconsin company buy about 14 acres of federal land in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. It would also require the Department of the Interior to review how the government approves permits for stone, sand, and gravel projects on federal lands. The goal is to find ways to make the process faster.

The ACRES Act would require federal agencies to provide more detailed and accurate reports on how they reduce wildfire risks on public lands. These reports would be made public, giving everyday Americans clearer information about prevention efforts. It would also set new rules for how agencies track this data, aiming for better transparency.

This bill would stop federal candidates and officeholders from using campaign funds to pay their spouses for services. It would also require their campaign committees to publicly report all payments made to spouses and immediate family members. If a candidate or officeholder knowingly breaks these new rules, they would face personal penalties that their committee could not pay back.

This bill would let state and local governments block refugees from settling in their areas. Currently, states and cities do not have this power. If passed, refugees could not be resettled in places that formally disapprove for that budget year.

This bill would rename the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore in Wisconsin as the Apostle Islands National Park and Preserve. The area would be divided into two sections: a National Park and a National Preserve. Each section would have different rules for hunting and trapping. Fishing rules would not change, and the rights of local Tribes would remain protected.

This bill would make sure that federal law enforcement agents record all interviews with people suspected of crimes. If an interview isn't recorded, what was said couldn't be used as evidence in federal court. This would apply to interviews both in the U.S. and with U.S. citizens abroad.
