Summary
The SAWMILL Act lets the USDA and the Interior Department guarantee loans for sawmills and wood‑processing plants in rural areas. Eligible facilities must be within 250 miles of federal land slated for ecological restoration, and the loans aim to lower the cost of those restoration projects. The bill caps guarantees at $220 million and requires periodic identification of priority restoration lands.
