Plain-English Summary

The government would be prevented from shutting down any research and development facilities run by the Forest Service, which studies forestry, wildlife management, and natural resource issues. This would affect Forest Service scientists and researchers who work at these facilities, as well as the communities where these facilities operate. The restriction would limit the Agriculture Department's ability to reorganize or consolidate its research operations even if budget constraints or efficiency concerns arise.
