Bottom line

This Act mandates a Government Accountability Office study to identify and recommend improvements for cross-boundary wildfire mitigation efforts and related programs.

What it actually does

This bill directs the Comptroller General of the United States (GAO) to conduct a comprehensive study on existing Federal programs, rules, and authorities that either enable or inhibit wildfire mitigation efforts across land ownership boundaries, encompassing both Federal and non-Federal lands. The study will also assess potential changes to these frameworks to enhance agencies' capacity and funding for wildfire mitigation and forest health, ultimately aiming to improve community protection and prevent structural losses due to wildfires.
