What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill would let certain projects that clear dead, dying, or bug-damaged trees and other fire-risk materials from federal land skip the usual environmental review process. These projects could include removing trees that threaten public safety or buildings, cleaning up land that poses a wildfire risk to nearby private property, or treating up to 10,000 acres of federal land that is especially at risk for wildfire or is home to threatened and endangered species. However, this shortcut would not apply to federally protected wilderness areas, national monuments, or land where removing plants is already banned by law.
