AI Summary

Directs the Secretaries of Agriculture, the Interior, Homeland Security, and Defense to create standard operating procedures (SOPs) that set clear payment timelines for federal fire suppression cost‑share agreements and to update existing agreements to follow those SOPs within one year. It requires federal paying entities to reimburse local fire departments that submit proper invoices and expresses congressional expectation that reimbursements occur as soon as practicable and no later than one year after fire suppression.
