About

With the passage of HB 3940 during the 2025 Legislative Session, important changes were made to the committee’s structure and its fiduciary responsibilities. The new law shifts the committee's focus from large fire to preparedness (district and association fiscal budgets) and retains strategic investment authority.

The committee will now include six members: 5 voting members who will have staggered terms ranging from one to four years for the first initial term and one non-voting member from the Board of Forestry. Membership must include individuals who are being assessed for fire protection within a forest protection district. The committee make up will include two representatives from large forest landowners, one representative from small forest landowners, one representative of a grazing landowner, and one member at-large that represents one of the groups previously mentioned. The terms for each – large, small and grazing landowner – are defined in statute. Additionally, the committee will have a representative from the Board of Forestry, and all three forest regions in the state need to have representation on the committee.
