The sponsor of bill has been Idaho's 4-term Rep Raul Labrador. Last June, the bill made it out of committee on a 25-13 vote (Zinke voted in favor of it), but no further action was taken.
Because the bill aims to transfer extraction rights, but not ownership, Zinke's support of it is consistent with his pro-extraction/federal-ownership stance.
Wilderness Society:
[HR 2316] would allow transfer of control of up to four million acres of national forest lands [per state] to an advisory group appointed by the individual state’s governor. These advisory councils are to be comprised of county officials and extractive industries, and these councils would have complete control over how these transferred lands are managed.
