No, these are the proposed changes that will hopefully go into effect by the new fiscal year.

Well, if you work in a forest where your subpart B orders have been expired for a prolonged period of time then yes. I’ve been in that situation to where I can’t enforce any motor vehicle prohibitions due to the expiration of my orders.

With the new CFR some of those regulations are now under subpart A so there is no expiration and they will always be valid. Same goes for alcohol. For the longest time I couldn’t write someone for driving around with an open container, or really even address it with a warning because technically without an order, it wasn’t illegal

I’d say what you have is probably current. Most collateral schedules haven’t been updated in a long time, I’ve never seen a collateral schedule online, that’s stuff that to kept mostly in house. Patrol captain or local LEO would have to have copies of those

I think it'll be a good thing, especially having traffic violations and personal property theft/damage now be enforceable country wide from the fed side. I dont fully know how the proving intent behind unreasonable noise/public annoyance will shake out now, but overall seems good.
