Cross-Boundary Wildfire Solutions Act

HR 9703, the Cross-Boundary Wildfire Solutions Act, is a procedural bill that requires the U.S. Comptroller General to study how wildfire mitigation work across different land ownerships (federal, state, tribal, private). The study will examine existing federal programs, rules, and funding access for agencies like the USDA Forest Service, FEMA, and state/local governments, and assess improvements needed based on past efforts under the Healthy Forests Restoration Act. The Comptroller General must submit a report with findings and recommendations to Congress within two years of the bill's enactment. This bill itself does not create new funding or regulations but aims to identify barriers and opportunities for better cross-boundary wildfire prevention.
