Modifies federal forest management rules to speed up thinning, prescribed burns, and other work that reduces wildfire risk on National Forest System land, Bureau of Land Management land, and Tribal land, and limits court challenges that delay those projects.

• Creates fireshed management areas, mapped by wildfire exposure, where forest thinning and related projects can move forward under expedited environmental review
• Limits courts from blocking covered forest projects with preliminary or permanent injunctions unless specific public-interest and harm standards are met, and sets a 150-day deadline for filing challenges
• Expands prescribed fire activities, training, and cooperative agreements with states, Tribes, and contractors, and sets up a Wildland Fire Intelligence Center and Fireshed Registry to share data
• Extends several Healthy Forests Restoration Act and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act authorities, including higher acreage limits for certain projects and a 10 percent cancellation payment for long-term stewardship contracts

• Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee (Senate)
