• Examines whether changes to these authorities, including statutory definitions, increase agency capacity and funding for wildfire mitigation and better protect communities and structures.
• Reviews activities under existing authorities such as the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003 and the Tribal Forest Protection Act of 2004, including how to improve their wildfire results.
• Requires a report to Congress within two years of enactment, with recommendations to simplify cross-boundary mitigation between federal land agencies and state, local, and Tribal governments.
