Cross-Boundary Wildfire Solutions Act

The Government Accountability Office would study why it's so hard to fight wildfires that cross boundaries between federal, state, tribal, and private land — and what rule changes might help. Right now, different agencies operate under different programs and authorities, which can slow down mitigation efforts when a fire doesn't respect property lines. The GAO would have two years to report back with recommendations for simplifying cross-boundary wildfire work and improving access to funding for state, local, and tribal governments.
