Tribal Forest Protection Act Amendments Act of 2025
Sponsor: Sen. Murkowski, Lisa (R-AK)2 cosponsorsIntroduced Feb 25, 2025
✆
In plain English
This bill reauthorizes and expands the Tribal Forest Protection Act through fiscal year 2031, allowing the Departments of Interior and Agriculture to contract with Indian tribes for land management projects. It removes the current requirement that projects occur only on federal lands bordering or adjacent to tribal lands, instead allowing projects on federal lands with special geographic, historical, or cultural significance to the tribe. The bill expands eligibility to include Alaska Native corporations and allows projects to be carried out directly on tribal forest lands and rangelands, not just on federal lands. It also updates congressional reporting requirements for these activities.
