Joint Chiefs Reauthorization Act of 2023
HR 5031 reauthorizes and updates the Joint Chiefs Landscape Restoration Partnership program, which helps restore forests and natural resources. The bill expands the program's purposes to include wildfire recovery and enhancing soil/water resources, while requiring better coordination between the Natural Resources Conservation Service and Forest Service. It extends the program's authorization period through 2028 and adds new requirements for considering forest management plans and post-wildfire impacts. This directly affects landscape restoration projects in wildfire-prone areas and natural resource management efforts across participating states.
