Bill overview
The Fire-Safe Electrical Corridors Act of 2025 allows the Forest Service to work with electrical utilities to safely manage vegetation around power lines on National Forest System land. This means the Forest Service can grant permits that allow utilities to remove trees and other brush without holding a separate timber sale, as long as it aligns with existing forest management plans and environmental regulations. If the utility sells the removed materials, they must share the proceeds with the Forest Service, minus transportation costs. This aims to reduce the risk of wildfires caused by overgrown vegetation near electrical infrastructure.
