What's next: Takes effect (on enactment unless the text sets other dates)

Summary: The law expands two federal disaster-assistance programs for farmers and forest owners by allowing them to receive advance payments covering up to 75% of emergency repair and restoration costs, rather than the current 25% limit, and extends the deadline to use those funds from 60 days to 180 days. It also broadens eligibility to include damages from wildfires caused by human activity or the federal government, and makes advance payments available for the first time under the forest restoration program.
