AI Summary
This bill, the FIRESHEDS Act (Forest Improvements through Research and Emergency Stewardship for Healthy Ecosystem Development and Sustainability Act), amends the Healthy Forests Restoration Act of 2003 to establish "emergency fireshed management areas" across federal and non-federal lands. These designated areas, identified as being in the top 10% of wildfire exposure risk, will undergo joint assessments between the Secretary of Agriculture/Interior and state governors to identify potential projects to reduce wildfire threats to public health, safety, infrastructure, wildlife habitats, and watersheds. The bill authorizes certain hazardous fuels management activities within these fireshed areas, while exempting them from certain environmental review requirements, and requires regular reporting to Congress on the progress of these fireshed management projects.
