PRESCRIBED BURN CLAIM PROGRAM

Summary

The bill orders the Department of Natural Resources to establish a Prescribed Burn Liability Claims Pilot Program, funded by premiums and fees, that provides coverage for damages caused by certified prescribed burn managers. It creates a dedicated fund, caps payouts at $1 million per burn, and permits a third‑party administrator. The program runs for six years and limits the state's financial exposure to the amount in the fund.
