CLEAR Act of 2025
This bill (S 3520) invalidates a specific Forest Service rule issued on November 25, 2024, which addressed criminal prohibitions related to law enforcement activities. The rule (89 Fed. Reg. 92808) is declared "without force or effect," and the Secretary of Agriculture is prohibited from implementing, enforcing, or administering this rule or any substantially similar rule. The bill directly affects the Forest Service's authority to enforce that particular rule. It is a procedural measure with no new policy provisions, solely reversing an existing regulation.
