Permitting prescribed fire control on private property without burning permit

Summary

The bill creates a system where private landowners can conduct prescribed fires without obtaining a separate burning permit, as long as a certified prescribed fire manager prepares a written prescription, supervises the burn, and follows state rules. It also limits the manager’s liability for smoke or fire damage when the burn complies with the requirements. The measure aims to promote forest health and wildfire prevention while protecting public safety.
