To provide for the transfer of administrative jurisdiction over certain Federal land in the State of California, and for other purposes.
Introduced Apr 22, 2026 by Rep. Tom McClintock
The House passed it. The Senate has to pass it before it can reach the President.
This bill exchanges administrative jurisdiction over specified parcels of federal land between Yosemite National Park and Stanislaus National Forest in California.
By way of background, cattle are grazing on the land currently managed by the National Park Service. However, grazing on federal lands primarily occurs on lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management or the Forest Service. The transfer would allow the land with cattle grazing to be managed by the Forest Service, which has a multiple-use management plan that is consistent with grazing.
