Cross-Boundary Wildfire Solutions Act

# Cross-Boundary Wildfire Solutions Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** HR 3922 aims to improve coordination and management of wildfires that spread across state and federal boundaries. The bill would establish better oversight mechanisms and require government studies on how federal agencies, states, and local governments can work together more effectively to prevent, prepare for, and respond to large wildfires. It focuses on forestry practices and forest management strategies that could reduce wildfire risk in areas spanning multiple jurisdictions. **Who It Affects** This legislation would primarily affect federal and state land management agencies (like the U.S.

Forest Service), state forestry departments, and communities in wildfire-prone regions, particularly in western states. It could also impact homeowners and businesses in areas where improved forest management practices are implemented. **Current Status** The bill was introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Joe Neguse (D-Colorado) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet advanced to a full House vote. It remains under review and has not been enacted into law.
