GovInfo records H.R. 3930, the Roadless Area Conservation Act of 2025, as introduced by Rep. Andrea Salinas on June 11, 2025. The bill's title is to provide lasting protection for inventoried roadless areas within the National Forest System, and it was referred to the Agriculture and Natural Resources committees.

Salinas materially fulfilled this oversight promise during her current federal House term. On September 3, 2026, she was listed as the first signer on a congressional letter opposing USDA's proposed Roadless Rule rescission and urging USDA and the Forest Service to halt the rollback, extend the comment period to 120 days, hold in-person public meetings, conduct robust Tribal consultation, and focus on effective implementation. She also sponsored H.R. 3930 in 2025 to provide lasting protection for inventoried roadless areas. The administrative rollback had not necessarily been stopped, but the promise was framed as opposing and pushing the agencies, which her actions directly did.
