Grasslands Grazing Act of 2025

This bill aims to ensure that ranchers with grazing agreements on national grasslands are treated consistently with permittees on other federal lands. It accomplishes this by amending Section 402(a) of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976 (FLPMA) , specifically changing the language from "lands within National Forests" to "National Forest System land." This modification extends FLPMA's provisions regarding grazing leases and permits to encompass national grasslands, which are part of the National Forest System, thereby standardizing the regulatory framework for grazing permits across these federal land categories. The bill clarifies that this amendment solely affects Section 402 of FLPMA and does not modify other FLPMA provisions applicable to national grasslands. Furthermore, it explicitly states that it does not impact Title III of the Bankhead-Jones Farm Tenant Act or Section 11 of the Public Rangelands Improvement Act of 1978, ensuring a focused change.
