119th (2025–2027)
H.R. 3559
The Save Our Forests Act of 2025 requires the U.S. Forest Service to increase staffing levels within 30 days of the bill's enactment to ensure the health and productivity of national forests for current and future generations. The legislation also mandates that the Forest Service reinstate any employees who were involuntarily terminated or removed between January 20, 2025, and the date the bill becomes law. Additionally, the bill ensures that the Forest Service must continue all authorized projects funded through existing laws, including the Federal Lands Recreation Enhancement Act, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act. The bill uses previously appropriated funds for these staffing increases and project continuations, so it does not require new funding. This legislation affects Forest Service employees and operations nationwide, with implementation required to begin immediately upon passage.
