Summary

The bill lets counties, cities, fire districts, water agencies, tribal governments and other local entities form regional wildfire mitigation collaborations, which can operate as joint powers authorities. These groups must draft mitigation plans that include projects such as home hardening, vegetation management and public education, and they can receive financing from a new revolving fund backed by revenue bonds. The goal is to lower wildfire risk, improve insurance availability, and align public and private investment in fire‑resilient communities.
