Wildfire Recovery Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Wildfire Recovery Act
This bill provides that the federal cost share for fire management assistance under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act shall not be less than 75% of the cost of such assistance.
The bill requires the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to develop guidelines and a rule that establish thresholds for cases in which the federal cost share for fire management assistance may be increased. Such thresholds shall use a fire-specific metric to determine fire damage and recommend a federal cost share adjustment for fire damage that meets the established thresholds.
