Expanding Wildfire Protection Eligibility for More At-Risk Communities.

This Act modifies the definition of an "at-risk community" under the Healthy Forests Restoration Act. It removes the requirement that a community must be "within or adjacent to Federal land." This change allows a broader range of communities vulnerable to wildfires to qualify for federal protection programs and mitigation resources, enhancing public safety across more regions.
Key points
The definition of "at-risk community" is broadened to include areas not directly adjacent to Federal land.
More communities become potentially eligible for federal funding and programs aimed at preventing and mitigating wildfires.
