Granting counties authority to enter into a shared stewardship agreement.

Summary

The bill amends state law so county commissioners can sign agreements with the U.S. Forest Service and other federal land‑management agencies to create and maintain fuel‑breaks near roads. Counties may keep proceeds from any timber harvested under those agreements, helping replace lost timber and school revenues. This gives local governments a new tool for wildfire risk reduction and a potential revenue source.
