Grasslands Grazing Act of 2025

This bill changes a section of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 that sets rules for grazing permits and leases. Right now that section covers National Forest lands in the sixteen contiguous Western States. The bill would apply it to all National Forest System land, which includes national grasslands, so ranchers with grazing agreements there would fall under the same permit rules as ranchers on other federal land. The bill states that it does not change how other parts of the Act apply to national grasslands, and it does not change certain sections of the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act or the Public Rangelands Improvement Act of 1978.
