S 3152 United States Senate · 119th Congress

LEAF Act of 2025

The LEAF Act of 2025 requires the U.S. Forest Service to give preference in awarding contracts for wildfire prevention projects to "appropriate local contractors" meeting specific criteria. These contractors must either be based in the state where work occurs with at least 26% of their workforce residing there, or within 60 miles of their business location. The bill covers projects like forest thinning, hazard tree removal, and fuel breaks aimed at reducing wildfire risks on federal lands. The Forest Service must also submit annual reports tracking contract awards to such contractors and assessing the policy's economic impact.
