This bill, known as the Joint Chiefs Reauthorization Act of 2025, reauthorizes the Joint Chiefs Landscape Restoration Partnership program, extending its operation from 2023 through 2031 . It significantly broadens the program's scope, allowing it to address recovery from wildfires and enhance soil, water, and related natural resources, in addition to its existing goals. The legislation mandates improved agency coordination , requiring the Chief of the Natural Resources Conservation Service to consider Forest Service management plans and collaborate on forestry science using the best available science. Furthermore, it refines project selection criteria to include post-wildfire impacts and ensures priority areas align with State forest action plans or similar state-level conservation strategies. Finally, the bill clarifies that program projects must remain consistent with the Forest Service's "Roadless Area Conservation" rule, reinforcing protections for designated roadless areas.
