✦ Plain-Language Summary

This bill allows homeowners in fire-prone areas of Staten Island to continue cutting and removing reeds and brush from their properties. This authorization helps reduce the risk of brush fires spreading in vulnerable neighborhoods. Without this extension, homeowners would lose their current legal ability to clear this fire hazard from their land.
