AI Summary
This bill, the Wildfire Recovery Act, amends the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to increase the federal cost share for fire management assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to at least 75% of eligible costs. The bill also requires FEMA to establish criteria for when the federal government can increase the cost share further, including a metric to assess the financial impact on state and local governments from responding to wildfires. This is intended to provide more flexibility and support for state and local governments dealing with the costs of wildfire response and recovery.
