## Summary

**75% minimum federal cost share for fire management assistance.** This bill would require the federal government to cover at least 75% of eligible fire management assistance costs, create a rulemaking process to allow FEMA to recommend higher shares, and clarify that predeployment by States, local governments, and Tribal governments may be eligible for reimbursement. - States, local governments, and Tribal governments: Would get at least 75% of eligible firefighting costs covered and could be reimbursed when they predeploy domestic assets. - FEMA and the President: Would have to complete a rulemaking within 3 years to set criteria for when to recommend increasing the federal cost share above 75%. - Federal funding scope: The 75% minimum would apply only to amounts appropriated on or after enactment, and the bill aligns predeployment reimbursement with existing disaster and emergency assistance rules.
