Summary

The bill amends the Public Resources Code to broaden the state’s local assistance grant program for fire prevention. It adds a new eligible activity: buying or installing mobile rigid dip tanks or similar infrastructure that can supply helicopter‑accessible water in very high and high fire‑hazard areas. The change aims to give local governments more tools to protect people and property from wildfires.
