Summary

The bill updates the 1980 law that governs Forest Service land in the Lake Tahoe Basin, adding language that recognizes the Washoe Tribe’s limited ownership and allows the tribe and local governments to receive land and funding for management. It authorizes a range of land‑care activities—such as forest health, water quality, cultural site protection, and public access—and creates a coordinated spending plan with state, tribal, and regional partners. The changes aim to improve environmental protection and access around Lake Tahoe.
