> Not without Congress doing something to enable it

Why? We played with the farfetched hypothetical of California unilaterally acting on federal land. But if the Forest Service says “come on in” and they do, I’m struggling to see who would face any real consequences given the Congress’s power of the purse isn’t being touched.

    OP is talking about CA paying money to the park service. Different than them handing over a license to burn.

      Sure. I don’t see how the Congress stops that if the USFS (not Parks) and Sacramento strike a deal.
