Young previously introduced the same bill, HR 3650, which ended up approved by the House Natural Resources committee vote of 23-15 (Zinke voted against), but saw no further action in the 114th.
Wilderness Society:
This year:[HR 3650] authorize states to seize millions of acres of national forest land from the U.S. Forest Service and prioritize those lands for logging. This bill would circumvent bedrock environmental laws and effectively take a great, wild national resource--forests prized for wildlife habitat, clean water and outdoor recreation, among many other values--and treat it as merely a means to clear cut more trees for lumber.
