Homeowners living in wildland-urban interface areas — zones where developed neighborhoods meet or intermingle with wildland vegetation, and where wildfire risk is elevated — gain new protections under this bill. It amends state law to prohibit cities, counties, and homeowner associations from passing or enforcing rules that prevent property owners in these areas from removing vegetation from their own land, with the exception of requirements allowed under Utah's Wildland Urban Interface Code, a state fire safety standard. Residents in HOA communities in fire-prone areas would no longer be subject to landscaping rules that could prevent them from clearing vegetation to reduce wildfire risk on their property.
