Designates specified lands in Los Padres National Forest, California, as the Sespe, Matilija, San Rafael, Garcia, Chumash, and Ventana Wilderness Areas, which shall be components of the National Wilderness Preservation System. Authorizes the Secretary of Agriculture to take necessary actions for fire prevention and watershed protection in such areas and for the management of the Sespe Condor Sanctuary. Declares that it is not the intent of the Congress:
(1) that designation of a wilderness area pursuant to this Act will lead to the creation of protective perimeters or buffer zones around such area; and
(2) that nonwilderness activities or uses outside a wilderness area which can be seen or heard from uses within such area shall not preclude such activities or uses up to the boundary of the wilderness area.
Releases certain roadless lands (except for those designated within the wilderness areas pursuant to this Act) for multiple land use.
Amends the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act to designate segments of the Sespe Creek, Big Sur River, and Sisquoc River, California, as components of the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System.

House Democratic Caucus Summary
The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.
So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.
We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
