Urging Congress and federal agencies to adopt land management reforms that will improve the prevention and mitigation of wildfires on federal lands.
Oregon's joint memorial (HJM 11) urges federal agencies and Congress to remove regulatory barriers slowing forest management on federal lands. It specifically requests reforms to speed up practices like prescribed burns by updating outdated laws (e.g., NEPA, ESA) that currently delay wildfire prevention work. The memorial directly addresses the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Interior Department, and Congress, citing that over 100 million acres of federal land face high wildfire risk due to overgrown forests. It does not create new law but seeks to improve federal processes for proactive wildfire mitigation.
