CLEAR Act of 2025

This legislation, titled the Community Law Enforcement Authority Restoration Act of 2025 (or CLEAR Act of 2025 ), seeks to significantly limit the authority of the Forest Service regarding a specific regulation. The bill explicitly prohibits the Forest Service, an agency of the Department of Agriculture, from administering, implementing, or enforcing the rule identified as "Law Enforcement; Criminal Prohibitions." This particular rule was published in the Federal Register on November 25, 2024, under citation 89 Fed. Reg. 92808. By mandating that this rule shall have no legal force or effect, the legislation effectively nullifies its provisions. This action aims to prevent the Forest Service from exercising any powers or responsibilities that would otherwise be granted or defined by that specific regulatory document.
