Require the Secretary of Agriculture to conduct wildfire suppression activities.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with this effort?
H.R. 178 was reported by the House Committee on Natural Resources on January 7, 2026, but the bill has seen no further action since that date. The House must now schedule a floor vote to advance the legislation, though limited time on the legislative calendar remains the primary constraint. While reaching the floor is a significant milestone that most bills fail to achieve, House leadership must still choose to prioritize this measure for a final vote.
