Tribal Forest Protection Act Amendments Act of 2024

This bill amends the Tribal Forest Protection Act of 2004 to expand protections for tribal forest and rangeland. It specifically allows Alaska Native Corporations (under the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act) to qualify for protections, broadens the Act's purpose to include restoring land, and updates criteria for Federal land projects. The bill authorizes $15 million annually from 2025 through 2030 to fund these expanded protections. It directly affects federally recognized tribes and Alaska Native Corporations managing forest or rangeland.
