The Forest Service could not use one 2024 rule about crimes and enforcement on national forest lands. The bill would make that rule legally invalid, but it does not replace it with new guidance.
Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
CLEAR Act of 2025 is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on Agriculture.
Latest action on H.R. 6802: Referred to the House Committee on Agriculture.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who visit, work on, live near, or enforce laws on National Forest System lands. It could change which Forest Service enforcement rules apply to conduct on those lands. The biggest direct impact would fall on Forest Service officers and people who might otherwise face penalties under the 2024 rule.
Why this matters: The bill matters because rules for national forests can affect what conduct becomes a crime on public land. Blocking this rule could change how officers handle violations and how visitors understand their legal risks. The exact impact is uncertain because the bill does not describe what the 2024 rule changed. It also raises a broader question about when Congress should step in and cancel agency rules.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
