Key Points
- This bill asks the government's watchdog agency to investigate why it is often difficult to manage wildfire risks when they cross over property lines. It looks at how federal, state, and local rules might accidentally block fire prevention work.
- The study will focus on finding ways to give local, state, and Tribal governments better access to funding and resources. The goal is to make sure that clearing dry brush or managing forests doesn't stop just because the land owner changes from the government to a private citizen.
- The findings will help Congress decide if they need to change existing laws to make fire prevention faster and more effective. A full report with specific recommendations on how to simplify these rules is required within two years.
