S 4456 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to amend the Granger-Thye Act to modify the maximum term for certain special use permits for housing.

This bill amends the Granger-Thye Act to change the maximum duration for certain housing permits on National Forest Service land. It increases the standard maximum permit term from 30 years to 30 years (unchanged for most permits), but extends the maximum term to 100 years specifically for housing permits located west of the 100th meridian in the contiguous 48 states. The change applies only to permits for housing uses, not other special uses. This directly affects individuals or entities seeking long-term housing permits on Forest Service land in the designated western region.
