AI Summary
This bill, the Repairing Existing Public Land by Adding Necessary Trees Act (REPLANT Act), amends the Forest and Rangeland Renewable Resources Planning Act of 1974 to promote reforestation efforts on federal lands following unplanned events, such as wildfires, insect infestations, or weather events. The key provisions include: extending the period for the Secretary of Agriculture to report annually on the national forest cover policy from 8 to 10 years; defining important terms like "natural regeneration" and "priority land"; requiring the Secretary to create a priority list of reforestation projects on priority lands; and making adjustments to the Reforestation Trust Fund to support these reforestation efforts. The bill also requires the Secretary to submit annual reports to Congress on the progress of these reforestation activities.
