This bill, the Wildfire Resilient Communities Act, provides mandatory funding of $30 billion for hazardous fuels reduction projects on certain federal lands. The bill prioritizes projects in areas near at-risk communities, high-value watersheds, or areas with very high wildfire hazard potential. The bill also authorizes an additional $3 billion for the Community Wildfire Defense Grant Program and reauthorizes the Collaborative Forest Landscape Restoration Program. Additionally, the bill establishes a County Stewardship Fund to provide payments to counties based on receipts from federal land contracts, allowing the counties to use the funds for any governmental purposes.
