HR 3922 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
Cross-Boundary Wildfire Solutions Act
Summary
- Directs the Comptroller General to study existing federal programs, rules, and authorities that enable or inhibit wildfire mitigation across different land ownership boundaries on federal and non-federal land.
- Requires the study to examine whether changes to existing programs, rules, or authorities could provide federal agencies, states, tribes, and local governments increased funding or capacity for wildfire mitigation and forest health improvement.
- Requires the study to assess whether changes to existing authorities could enable better community protection and prevent loss of structures from wildfire.
- Mandates the Comptroller General to submit a report to Congress within two years containing study results and recommendations to simplify cross-boundary wildfire mitigation between federal land management agencies and state, local, and tribal governments.
