A bill to provide for the transfer of administrative jurisdiction over certain Federal land in the State of California, and for other purposes.

# S 2881 Summary **What It Would Do** This bill would swap administrative control of certain parcels of federal land between Yosemite National Park and Stanislaus National Forest in California. Specifically, land currently managed by the National Park Service would be transferred to the Forest Service, while Forest Service land would go to the Park Service. **Why and Who It Affects** The reason for this swap is cattle grazing. Currently, cattle graze on land within Yosemite National Park, but the National Park Service isn't set up to manage grazing—that's typically done by the Forest Service or Bureau of Land Management.

By transferring the grazing land to the Forest Service, which allows multiple uses including ranching, cattle operations could continue under appropriate management. This primarily affects cattle ranchers, federal land managers, and communities in central California. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Senator Alex Padilla (D-CA) during the current congressional session and is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't yet been voted on by the full Senate.
