Summary

The bill lets the Wildlife Conservation Board give new regional landscape grants to local groups for projects that lower wildfire risk, such as vegetation management, ignition‑prevention work, and public education. It also broadens the kinds of activities that can receive existing local assistance grants, adding things like vegetation modification and ignition‑prevention. The goal is to give regions more tools and funding to protect people, homes, and natural resources from wildfires.
