Bill overview
The Local Employment Access for our Forests Act of 2025 (LEAF Act) amends the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003 to prioritize local contractors when the Department of Agriculture awards contracts for hazardous fuel reduction projects on federal land. Specifically, it defines ‘appropriate local contractor’ based on location and workforce residency, and requires the Secretary to give preference to these contractors to the maximum extent possible. The bill also mandates a report to Congress assessing the impact of this preference on local employment and contractor capacity, and establishes a monitoring process to ensure compliance.
