Grazing Management: States Gain More Control Over Federal Lands
This act allows states to take on more control over managing grazing on federal lands. This means decisions about livestock grazing, such as issuing permits and management plans, can be made by state authorities, potentially speeding up processes and tailoring them to local needs. Citizens involved in livestock farming may experience changes in how they obtain and manage grazing permits.
Key points
States can enter agreements with the federal government to administer grazing management plans on eligible federal land.
