Bill information
Summary
A bill to codify the authority of the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior to conduct certain landscape-scale forest restoration projects, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill gives the Secretaries of Agriculture and Interior official legal authority to run large-scale forest restoration projects on public lands. Forest restoration means replanting trees and restoring forest health after damage or degradation. Currently, these agencies may lack clear legal backing for such projects. The bill was introduced in 2023 by Senator Steve Daines and Senator Dianne Feinstein. It is still in the early stage and has not yet been voted on by either of Congress.
