S 2033 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Cross-Boundary Wildfire Solutions Act

This bill directs the Comptroller General to study how federal programs and funding help or hinder wildfire mitigation efforts across different land ownerships (including federal, state, tribal, and private lands). It examines existing rules, funding access for agencies like the USDA Forest Service and FEMA, and analyzes activities from the Healthy Forests Restoration Act. The study will identify improvements to simplify cooperation between federal, state, local, and tribal governments on wildfire prevention. The Comptroller General must submit a report with findings and recommendations to Congress within two years. This is a procedural study bill focused on improving coordination, not implementing new policies.
