A bill to prohibit the Secretary of Agriculture from taking certain proposed actions relating to a land management plan direction for old-growth forest conditions across the National Forest System.
S 3929 prohibits the Secretary of Agriculture from implementing a specific Forest Service notice (88 Fed. Reg. 88042, December 20, 2023) that proposed land management actions for old-growth forest conditions across National Forest System lands. The bill directly affects the Department of Agriculture's management authority over federal forest lands by blocking the adoption of this particular plan direction. It does not create new policy but prevents the executive branch from moving forward with the proposed actions outlined in that specific notice. The bill's effect is limited to halting this one administrative step related to old-growth forest management.
