Occurrences

U.S. Representatives Nathaniel Moran (TX-01) and Buddy Carter (GA-01) introduced the Save America’s Family Forests (SAFF) Act to help rural landowners and forestry operations rapidly recover from natural disasters by removing key taxation barriers that currently delay reforestation efforts across the country.

Moran co-introduced the SAFF Act, which would change tax rules so landowners can immediately deduct reforestation costs after disasters.

Assessments

delivered same_term

Moran promised to support legislation allowing full and immediate expensing of reforestation costs after federally declared natural disasters by removing the $10,000 cap and long recovery periods. During his current House term, he co-introduced the Save America’s Family Forests Act of 2026, which matches the promised policy substance. Because the promise was to support legislation, not necessarily secure enactment, formal introduction and sponsorship of the matching bill satisfies the commitment in the same term.
