Plain-English summary
This bill exchanges administrative jurisdiction over specified parcels of federal land between Yosemite National Park and Stanislaus National Forest in California.
By way of background, cattle are grazing on the land currently managed by the National Park Service. However, grazing on federal lands primarily occurs on lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management or the Forest Service. The transfer would allow the land with cattle grazing to be managed by the Forest Service, which has a multiple-use management plan that is consistent with grazing.
