Posts - Bill - HR 598 FIR Act
house 01/21/2025 - 119th Congress
We aim to streamline the process of managing our nation's forests and rangelands by reducing redundant consultations under the Endangered Species Act when a new species is listed or critical habitat is designated. This legislation allows the Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior to maintain current land management and use plans without additional consultations in specific situations, ensuring efficient use of resources while continuing to protect our environment.

Skipping crucial checks isn't reform; it's a deforestation fast track!

A plan without frequent updates is just a wild guess in forestry.
