Good Neighbor timber revenue for tribes and counties
What they say
In the October 13 KATU debate, Gluesenkamp Perez cited her Good Neighbor Authority work allowing tribes and counties to take part in forest work and logging contracts.
What the record shows ·
She was an original cosponsor of H.R.1450 in 2023. Separately, section 351(b)(3)(B) of Public Law 118-234, signed January 4, 2025, allows governors, tribes and counties to retain timber-sale receipts under Good Neighbor agreements and use them for specified restoration and recreation work.
Limit: Her standalone H.R. 1450 did not become law. The enacted revenue-retention authority ends October 1, 2028. Actual wildfire reduction or work on specific contracts was not checked.
