Urges Congress to pass "Fix Our Forests Act."

ACR 56 is a New Jersey legislative resolution urging Congress to pass the federal "Fix Our Forests Act." It does not create new state law but formally requests congressional action to address wildfire risks in New Jersey forests, which experience about 1,500 wildfires annually damaging 7,000 acres. The resolution highlights that the proposed federal act would establish a data-driven Fireshed Center to assess wildfire risks and support forest management practices like prescribed burns and tree thinning. This resolution directly affects New Jersey residents by seeking federal tools to protect forests, communities, and public health from increasing wildfire threats.
