Long-Term Good Neighbor Authority Act

This bill significantly modifies the existing Good Neighbor Authority (GNA) framework by extending the maximum duration of GNA agreements. It amends both the Agricultural Act of 2014 and the EXPLORE Act to permit these agreements, which facilitate restoration and recreation services on federal lands, to last for up to 20 years . A key provision of this legislation is the expansion of entities eligible to enter into GNA agreements, specifically adding Indian tribes to the list of partners alongside Governors and counties. These amendments aim to foster more stable and enduring partnerships between federal agencies and local entities, enabling more effective and long-term management of national forests and other federal lands for ecological restoration and recreational purposes.
