SCR 45 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Urges Congress to pass "Fix Our Forests Act."

SCR 45 is a New Jersey legislative resolution urging Congress to pass the federal "Fix Our Forests Act." It does not create new laws but formally requests congressional action on this pending bill. The resolution highlights New Jersey's wildfire risks (1,500 annual fires damaging 7,000 acres) and notes the federal bill would establish a data-driven Fireshed Center to assess wildfire risks and support forest management practices like prescribed burns and tree thinning. This procedural resolution directly targets Congress, not New Jersey residents or state agencies.
