Federal land agencies would have to report where they reduced wildfire fuel and whether the work lowered risk. Each acre could count only once a year. The bill provides no new money for the work.
Modern Action explains what the legislation does, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.
ACRES Act is a House bill in Congress.
Who this affects: This bill mainly affects federal workers who manage national forests, national parks, and other public lands. They would have to collect more detailed data and follow common tracking rules. It also matters to people living near fire-prone federal land because reports would identify work near communities. Congress and the public would get more information to judge the cost and results of that work.
Why this matters: Federal agencies reduce brush, trees, and other material that can make wildfires worse. Incomplete or uneven records can make it hard to tell where that work happened and whether it helped. This bill would create clearer public data on the work, its cost, and changes in risk. That information may shape future plans and spending, but better reporting alone may not improve wildfire results.
You do not have to start with a blank letter. Modern Action turns the bill, your position, and the relevant congressional context into a message you can edit and send. The goal is to make contacting Congress clear, specific, and useful without forcing you to parse bill text or figure out the right office on your own.
