To require the Secretary of Agriculture to develop a strategy to increase opportunities to utilize livestock grazing as a means of wildfire risk reduction.
Key claim: The legislation would require the Secretary of Agriculture to establish a national strategy expanding livestock grazing to reduce wildfire risks on federal and surrounding lands.
Abstract
(HR7666 · 118th Congress) Latest action (2024-11-19): Subcommittee Hearings Held
Why this matters
The proposal could expand opportunities for livestock producers to participate in wildfire fuel management while addressing risks to nearby farms and rural communities. It remains introduced legislation considered at a House subcommittee hearing, not an implemented program, and the finding establishes neither wildfire-reduction outcomes nor effects on consumer food prices.
