AB 1891: Forestry: Beneficial Fire Capacity Program.
The bill aims to establish a beneficial fire capacity program in the department of forestry and fire protection. This program will expand training, organizational capacity, and support for community-led beneficial fire programs, including those developed by California Native American tribes, non-governmental organizations, and local districts. The program will provide competitive grants for beneficial fire implementation, capacity building, research, innovation, and training. The department will be required to publish and update information related to the program's implementation on its website. The goal is to maximize the benefits of the program, including expanding the use of prescribed burning for certain public purposes.
