S 440 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Oregon Recreation Enhancement Act

S 440 designates approximately 128,000 acres in Oregon as two new recreation areas (Rogue Canyon and Molalla) to protect recreational, ecological, and cultural values. It requires federal agencies to manage these areas under specific conservation rules, mandates a wildfire risk assessment and mitigation plan within a year, and prohibits new roads or mining development within the designated lands. The bill also expands the Wild Rogue Wilderness by adding 59,512 acres and withdraws certain federal lands from mining, mineral leasing, and development. These changes primarily affect federal land management agencies, local communities near wildfire zones, and existing land users whose activities are otherwise protected under current law.
