Key Points

This bill orders a government study to find out what makes it hard for different groups to work together on wildfire prevention. Currently, rules can change depending on whether land is owned by the federal government, a state, or a private owner. This often stops fire-clearing work right at the property line.
The study will look at whether changing certain laws would give local, state, and tribal governments better access to money for fire prevention. It aims to help agencies like the Forest Service and FEMA coordinate better with local communities to stop fires before they start.
The government will have two years to finish the report and suggest ways to make it easier for everyone to protect land from fires, regardless of who owns it. This could eventually lead to more consistent fire breaks and brush clearing in high-risk areas across the country.
