Fire Safe Electrical Corridors Act of 2023

This bill allows electrical utilities to clear vegetation near power lines on National Forest System land without needing a separate timber sale, provided the work follows existing land management plans and environmental laws. It requires utilities to share proceeds from selling any cleared vegetation (minus transportation costs) with the Forest Service, though they aren't forced to sell the material. The law directly affects utilities operating in national forests and the Forest Service managing those lands. Key provisions streamline vegetation management for fire safety while ensuring revenue from removed materials benefits the agency.
