This bill establishes forest management requirements for federal lands, particularly with respect to reducing wildfires. For example, the bill establishes annual goals to increase (1) the number of acres of Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management (BLM) land that are mechanically thinned (i.e., a management process related to the removal of trees and vegetation); and (2) the number of acres of Forest Service and BLM land treated by prescribed fire. By FY2029, the goals must be to increase the number of acres of each by at least 40% compared to the average number of acres of each in FY2019-FY2023.The bill also directs the Forest Service and the BLM to (1) implement standardized procedures for tracking data relating to hazardous fuels reduction activities they carry out, and (2) develop a strategy to identify opportunities to use livestock grazing as a wildfire risk reduction tool on federal land. Additionally, the Forest Service and the Department of the Interior must establish a deployment and test bed pilot program for wildfire prevention, detection, communication, and mitigation technologies.The bill mandates use of existing authorities for expedited environmental review for certain forest land at high risk from wildfire, insects, or disease.Finally, the bill provides local governments and Indian tribes the right to intervene in lawsuits concerning certain projects on federal land that (1) reduce risks posed by wildfire, insects, or disease; or (2) generate revenue from harvesting timber.

Reduction of Excess Business Holding Accrual ActThis bill treats certain stock repurchased by a corporation from an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) as outstanding voting stock for purposes of the federal excise tax imposed on a private foundation’s excess business holdings. Thus, a private foundation may exclude such stock in calculating present holdings in a corporation and liability for the excise tax. (Exceptions apply.)As background, a federal excise tax is imposed on a private foundation that owns more than 20% of the voting stock in a corporation, reduced by the percentage of voting stock held by all disqualified persons (excess business holdings). However, a private foundation with excess business holdings on May 26, 1969 (grandfathered private foundation) may own a greater percentage of voting stock in certain circumstances. Under the bill, stock is treated as outstanding voting stock if such stock isnot readily tradable on an established securities market;repurchased from an ESOP on or after January 1, 2020; andheld by the corporation as treasury stock, cancelled, or retired.However, such stock is not treated as outstanding voting stock if it is repurchased within the first 10 years of establishing the ESOP or, as a result of the repurchase, the permitted holdings of the private foundation would exceed 49% of the voting stock in the corporation.Finally, under the bill, such stock does not reduce the percentage of voting stock a grandfathered private foundation may own.

Child Care Nutrition Enhancement Act of 2025This bill increases and modifies reimbursements for meals and snacks served under the Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).CACFP is a Food and Nutrition Service program that provides federal reimbursements for meals and snacks provided to eligible children and adults who are enrolled at participating child care centers, day care homes (i.e., private homes that provide nonresidential child care services), and adult day care centers.Specifically, the bill eliminates the two-tiered system for CACFP reimbursement rates for day care homes and generally makes all day care homes eligible for the same reimbursement rates. Under current law, day care homes located in a low-income area or with a low-income provider receive higher reimbursement rates (i.e., Tier I rates). Day care homes that do not qualify for Tier I rates receive Tier II rates, which are lower.Further, the bill provides an additional 10-cent reimbursement for each eligible meal and snack served in the CACFP.The bill also allows the provider of a family or group day care home to serve reimbursable meals and snacks to their own children when serving meals and snacks to children in their care. Specifically, the bill eliminates the current requirement that the child of a day care home provider meet the program's income eligibility requirement in order for the day care provider to receive reimbursement for the meals and snacks served to their child.
