This bill makes several changes to Utah's forestry and wildfire laws, most notably expanding the Utah Wildfire Fund to cover costs the state incurs under cooperative agreements with federal agencies for forest management, including post-wildfire rehabilitation on federal land when the state forester determines it directly benefits state and private lands. It also formally adds the Division of Forestry, Fire, and State Lands itself — alongside law enforcement agencies — as a body responsible for enforcing wildfire and heritage tree laws and investigating potential violations. The remaining changes are technical, updating language like "pursuant to" with "in accordance with" and adjusting punctuation to keep the statute consistent.
