From the Billings Gazette: "The federal government would revamp how it pays for firefighting and take some of the burden off the U.S. Forest Service by creating a permanent fund for devastating blazes, under legislation introduced Thursday by key House Democrats."
Information on the "FLAME Act," H.R. 5541, is available through THOMAS. THOMAS links to the bill text, bill summary & status, and details on all Congressional actions on the bill, such as the introductory remarks on the bill.
