Utah could join wildfire research institute
This bill would add Utah to the Southwest Forest Health and Wildfire Prevention Institute. Utah agencies, universities, landowners, and wildfire-prone communities would be able to join Institute projects and collaborations. The bill does not set new funding or new authorities; it only adds Utah to the list. If passed, the effects would be limited and mostly local to Utah.
