Bill overview
This bill, the Clearing Lines Along Electrical At-Risk Zones Act, changes how the federal government manages vegetation near power lines on public and National Forest System lands. It broadens the definition of ‘hazard trees’ to include those within 50 feet of power lines, requires consultation with private landowners before removing trees, and establishes a streamlined approval process for vegetation management plans. Furthermore, it creates a categorical exclusion for certain forest management activities related to power line maintenance, reducing the need for extensive environmental reviews.
