Cross-Boundary Wildfire Solutions Act
What does the Cross-Boundary Wildfire Solutions Act do?
HR 3922 is a House bill sponsored by Rep. Joe Neguse (D-CO). This bill orders the Government Accountability Office to study how federal programs and rules help or get in the way of fighting wildfires across property lines — where federal land, state land, private land, and tribal land all meet. The GAO must report its findings and recommendations to Congress within two years. The bill itself makes no change to wildfire programs; it only commissions the study. Directs the Comptroller General (GAO) to study and report within two years on federal programs and rules that enable or inhibit wildfire mitigation across land-ownership boundaries.
