Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would remove the wilderness study area designation from three areas of federal land in Montana. These are the Middle Fork Judith Wilderness Study Area (about 81,000 acres of national forest land) and the Hoodoo Mountain and Wales Creek Wilderness Study Areas (about 11,380 and 11,580 acres of Bureau of Land Management land). After release, the Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management would manage these lands under their most recent land management plans instead of the rules that apply to wilderness study areas.
