Summary
AB 706 establishes a state‑run fire‑fuel‑reduction program that purchases, transports, and uses up to 15 million bone‑dry tons of forest waste each year. It creates the FOREST and Wildfire Prevention Fund in the State Treasury and directs money to the Natural Resources Agency, giving priority to existing BioRAM and BioMAT bioenergy fleets. The goal is to lower wildfire risk while turning waste into renewable energy.
