Summary
The bill directs the Secretary of Agriculture, acting through the Chief of the Forest Service, to conduct a study within one year of enactment on the effectiveness of wildfire mitigation methods in shrubland ecosystems such as chaparral, sagebrush, and shrub-steppe. The study would evaluate fuel management practices, invasive species control, policies addressing ember ignitions including from electrical infrastructure, and administrative and budgetary barriers to implementation. Within 90 days of completing the study, the Secretary would submit and publicly release a report with findings, best practices, and recommendations for improved coordination with non-federal entities. The bill mandates research and reporting only and does not itself establish new regulatory requirements or appropriate funds for mitigation activities.
