Creates a program to manage vegetation and reduce wildfire risk on federal lands along the southern border, with the goal of improving safety, sight lines, and border operations. It directs Interior (and other land managers) to stand up the initiative within one year and authorizes $3.66 million annually from FY2026–FY2032.
It also requires new joint policies with Homeland Security to prevent wildland fires and environmental damage tied to unauthorized crossings on these lands, includes trash reduction and habitat protection measures, and sets deadlines for a congressional report and a Government Accountability Office update. Key terms and responsible agencies are defined for clarity.
Referred to the Committee on Natural Resources, and in addition to the Committee on Agriculture, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
