Bill > HR4569

This bill, known as the Action Versus No Action Act, requires that only two alternatives be considered for certain proposed collaborative forest management activities: the proposed forest management activity and the alternative of no action. The "no action" alternative must evaluate the effects of inaction on factors like forest health, wildfire potential, and habitat diversity, as well as the implications of declining forest health on the local community and economy. The bill applies to forest management activities on lands suitable for timber production that meet certain criteria, such as being developed through a collaborative process or covered by a community wildfire protection plan. It defines key terms like "collaborative process" and "resource advisory committee" to provide context.
