Bill > S2650

This bill, the Wildfire Resilient Communities Act, aims to provide mandatory funding for hazardous fuels reduction projects on certain federal lands. Key provisions include: 1. Requiring federal agency heads to carry out hazardous fuels reduction projects, prioritizing those in high-risk areas or that integrate goals for fire-adapted communities, resilient landscapes, and effective fire response. 2. Providing $30 billion in mandatory funding for these projects, with up to 10% allowed for administrative and planning costs. 3. Authorizing $1 billion per year to assist at-risk communities in wildfire planning and preparation, including through community wildfire protection plans and cost-sharing for defensible space. 4. Amending the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program to remove a limit on the number of proposals the Secretary can select and increasing permanent funding to $100 million per year. 5. Establishing a County Stewardship Fund, where 25% of receipts from certain federal land contracts will be distributed to the counties to use for any governmental purposes.
