HR 8865 United States House · 118th Congress

To nullify Executive Order 14072 and prohibit the Secretary of Agriculture and the Secretary of the Interior from implementing, administering, or enforcing such Executive Order or any substantially similar executive order.

This bill cancels Executive Order 14072, which aimed to protect old-growth forests, and prohibits the Agriculture and Interior Secretaries from implementing, enforcing, or developing rules related to that order or similar policies. It specifically blocks the finalization of a planned environmental review for managing old-growth forests across national forests, as outlined in a June 2024 Forest Service notice. The bill directly affects federal forest management decisions by halting actions tied to the canceled executive order. It focuses on reversing specific administrative steps rather than creating new environmental standards.
