To prohibit the Secretary of Agriculture from closing any research and development facility of the Forest Service.
This bill prevents the Secretary of Agriculture from shutting down any Forest Service research and development facilities. It directly affects the Forest Service by legally blocking the closure of these sites unless a future law explicitly allows it. The measure removes the current administrative authority to make these decisions, requiring explicit congressional approval for any future closures.
