Expedited Forest Management to Protect Communities from Catastrophic Wildfires.
This law establishes "emergency fireshed management areas" in high-risk regions to accelerate wildfire prevention efforts.

Crucially, the law streamlines environmental review processes for these specific projects, enabling faster response to wildfire threats.
