Evidence

legacy_unverified · Source version not recorded · locator unknown

Public Law 119-74 provided $1,147,171,000 for Interior Wildland Fire Management, with wildfire suppression funds available for Federal emergency response actions. It also provided $2,426,111,000 for Forest Service Wildland Fire Management and $2,480,000,000 more for the Forest Service wildfire suppression operations reserve fund. Interior appropriations were available for specially equipped law enforcement vehicles.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The enacted FY2026 Interior and Environment appropriations law continued substantial wildland fire management and suppression funding for DOI and the Forest Service, explicitly supported federal emergency response, and included DOI law-enforcement vehicle authority. This is concrete delivery on the funding/emergency-response components and some public-lands law-enforcement support, though it does not show a new broad law-enforcement program specific to public lands.

The enacted FY2026 appropriations law provided substantial Interior and Forest Service wildland fire management and suppression funding, including emergency response support and some public-lands law-enforcement vehicle authority. Moolenaar materially advanced the outcome by voting for the bill that passed the House and became law. The promise was broad rather than tied to a specific new program, and the enacted appropriations substantially satisfy it.
