AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill sets out the original text of the Fix Our Forests Act; the Senate committee later replaced this text with an amended version. It would designate high-risk wildfire areas, called fireshed management areas, on federal, state, and Tribal land for 5 years, and would require federal agencies to assess these areas and carry out projects such as thinning, fuel breaks, and prescribed burning. It would create a joint Agriculture-Interior Wildfire Intelligence Center and a public online Fireshed Registry of wildfire risk data. It would expand the size of forest projects that can use faster environmental review processes, and would let Indian Tribes and special districts take part in good neighbor agreements. The emergency fireshed authority would end 7 years after enactment.
