AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would allow the U.S. Forest Service, part of the Department of Agriculture, to sign cooperative agreements with governors and with the top executives of local governments to detect, treat, and reduce mountain pine beetle infestations. Activities under these agreements could include shared monitoring and data, joint projects, processing of beetle-killed trees, hazard reduction, and other steps to lower wildfire risk. If a state or local partner asks, the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service would have to give technical help on detecting beetles, how infestations spread, and ways to reduce them. For this bill, "State" includes the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, and federally recognized Indian Tribes.
