Full Federal Funding for Recovery After Government-Caused Wildfires.
This law ensures that if a wildland fire results from management activities by the Department of Agriculture on federal land, affected parties (citizens, tribes, local governments) will receive 100% federal funding for recovery projects. This eliminates the requirement for them to provide matching funds (cost-share) for remediation efforts. The goal is to speed up and simplify recovery in areas affected by fires resulting from federal management errors.
Key points
The federal government will cover 100% of recovery costs for wildland fires caused by its own management activities on National Forest System land.
States, tribes, localities, and individuals affected by these fires are waived from providing required matching funds for federal recovery programs.
