Establishes a vegetation management program for utility lines to reduce wildfire risk.

The bill mandates the Department of Land and Natural Resources to create and update a wildfire hazard map annually, identifying high, medium, and low-risk areas. Utility companies can trim or remove hazardous vegetation on private and public properties if the property owner fails to respond or abate the vegetation within 30 days. The bill also outlines the rights of utility companies to enter properties to manage vegetation and the obligations of property owners to maintain their land.
