I have found it
Active Transportation for Public Lands Act
The bill reallocates a minimum share of transportation funds to expand safe, ADA‑compliant active‑transport infrastructure and rail‑trail conversions—benefiting walkers, cyclists, and vulnerable populations—while reducing funding available for some larger highway/transit projects and imposing capacity challenges on small jurisdictions.
To amend the National Trails System Act to direct the Secretary of the Interior to conduct a study on the feasibility of designating the Bay Area Ridge National Scenic Trail, and for other purposes.
The bill would create a nationally coordinated ~550-mile multi‑use scenic trail that greatly expands recreation and local tourism and improves trail connectivity, but it requires public planning and maintenance funding and risks infrastructure strain, environmental impacts, and negotiation pressures on landowners.
Northwest California Wilderness, Recreation, and Working Forests Act
The bill prioritizes long‑term conservation, wildfire risk reduction, and expanded recreational and tribal access across large public-land areas while trading off local resource development, some established access and commercial uses, and adding administrative costs and implementation uncertainty.
Nor Rel Muk Wintu Nation Federal Recognition Act
The bill grants the Nor Rel Muk Wintu Nation federal recognition and access to programs and legal frameworks—boosting tribal self-governance and service delivery in Trinity County—while imposing administrative enrollment requirements, concentrating service delivery in a single county (which may disadvantage members outside it), limiting external review of membership decisions, and adding modest federal costs.
FRESHER Act of 2025
The bill provides faster, actionable water-quality data and stronger permitting authority to protect communities and waterways, at the cost of added regulatory obligations for industry, potential litigation, and modest federal expenditures.
Sustainable International Financial Institutions Act of 2025
The bill shifts U.S. development finance away from overseas fossil-fuel projects to cut emissions and reduce financial risk, but it may slow energy development in some partner countries, create short-term energy access and job impacts, and shift costs onto taxpayers.
Community Protection and Wildfire Resilience Act
The bill directs substantial, multi‑year federal funding and new planning, mapping, and coordination tools to boost wildfire resilience—giving communities resources and clearer standards—while imposing new administrative requirements, cost‑shares, and potential distributional and property‑impact risks that may leave some areas or low‑capacity communities behind unless matched by sufficient local capacity and follow‑through.
GREEN Streets Act
The bill pushes states and localities toward lower-emission, multimodal transportation with clearer targets, greater transit access, and stronger environmental justice and accessibility protections — but it does so by shifting funding priorities and imposing new reporting, compliance, and administrative burdens that will weigh most heavily on smaller jurisdictions, rural areas, and state/local budgets.
Saving the Department of the Interior's Workforce Act
The bill preserves DOI career jobs, due-process protections, and service continuity during an appropriations gap, at the cost of higher near-term personnel expenses and reduced managerial flexibility to reshape or streamline the workforce.
Saving the Forest Service's Workforce Act
The bill preserves Forest Service employees' jobs and due-process protections in the short term, at the cost of higher near-term personnel expenses and reduced managerial flexibility that can harm service delivery and may lead to larger, concentrated cuts later.
