Fire Department Repayment Act of 2023
This bill requires federal agencies (Agriculture, Interior, Homeland Security, and Defense) to establish standard procedures for managing fire suppression cost share agreements. It mandates that these agencies review and update existing agreements to align with local fire protection plans and conduct second-level reviews after wildfires, consulting with state and local fire organizations. The bill directly affects federal agencies and local fire departments participating in these agreements, which cover shared costs for firefighting efforts. It is procedural in nature, focusing on improving existing processes rather than creating new funding or altering policy.
