Fund wildfire suppression through the Disaster Relief Fund

McClintock supported changing the Stafford Act so wildfire costs exceeding the budget could be paid from the Disaster Relief Fund. The proposal was intended to address the practice of shifting money from forest treatment and fire-prevention work to cover suppression costs.

Context: The passage describes a provision in the 2015 Resilient Federal Forests Act and does not establish its later status.

In their own words

allow wildfire costs that exceed the budget to be paid for by the Disaster Relief Fund.
