Blocks a Forest Service rule about criminal acts, meaning people would not face its specific prohibitions.
This bill, called the CLEAR Act, would stop a specific Forest Service rule from being put into practice. This rule, published in November 2024, deals with criminal prohibitions. If passed, the government would not be able to enforce this rule, meaning people visiting national forests would not be subject to its specific criminal rules.
Today, a Forest Service rule titled "Law Enforcement; Criminal Prohibitions" (published November 25, 2024) has legal power and outlines specific criminal prohibitions. If this bill passes, that rule would lose all legal power immediately. The Secretary of Agriculture and the Forest Service would be blocked from enforcing it or any similar rule.
