Wildfire Homeowner Relief Act

This bill mandates a 12-month study by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) to analyze the feasibility of a federal program that would buy properties from homeowners in high-risk wildfire areas before or after disasters. The study must examine existing buyout programs, develop definitions for terms like "disadvantaged community," and recommend how to implement such a program, including land use after buyouts and eligibility mapping. It does not create a new program or provide immediate relief but requires a report to Congress within one year detailing findings and cost analysis. The bill directly affects future policy decisions, not current homeowners.
