Granting counties authority to enter into a shared stewardship agreement.

Summary

The bill amends state law to give county commissioners the authority to partner with federal land‑management agencies to create and manage fuel‑breaks on federal forest land near county roads. Counties can keep proceeds from any timber harvested under those agreements, helping offset lost timber and school revenues. This expands local control over wildfire prevention while providing a new revenue source.
