Speeds up wildfire-risk reduction on federal lands by expanding categorical exclusions from environmental review, enlarging allowable project sizes, and allowing faster action on hazard trees and extreme-risk timber. It requires a grazing strategy to reduce fuels and streamlines vegetation management within and near electric transmission and distribution rights‑of‑way on federal lands, with clear timelines and permissions for utilities to remove dangerous vegetation.
Updates how timber-sale revenues under Good Neighbor Authority agreements are used by States, Tribes, and counties—requiring proceeds to fund restoration under the same agreement and allowing leftover funds to support other Good Neighbor projects. It also limits when agencies must reopen Endangered Species Act consultation for existing land plans and increases the Healthy Forests Restoration Act categorical exclusion from 3,000 to 10,000 acres.
Referred to the Committee on Agriculture, and in addition to the Committee on Natural Resources, 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.
