Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill changes a section of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 that covers grazing permits and leases on federal land. It replaces the phrase "lands within National Forests" with a reference to all National Forest System land, which includes national grasslands. As a result, ranchers with grazing agreements on national grasslands would fall under the same grazing permit and lease section as permittees on other federal land. The bill states that it does not change how other parts of that Act, the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act, or a section of the Public Rangelands Improvement Act of 1978 apply to national grasslands.
