Saturday's announcement comes nearly two months after the Los Angeles area was devastated by wildfires that killed 29 people and destroyed thousands of structures.
This could allow for more projects like vegetation and tree removal, adding fuel breaks and prescribed burns.
State agencies will be able to recommend how to increase the pace and scale of controlled burns.
"These are the forest management projects we need to protect our communities most vulnerable to wildfire, and we're going to get them done," Newsom said.
Newsom took similar actions in March 2019, just months after the Camp Fire almost completely destroyed the Town of Paradise and killed 85 people.
Newsom also says California is investing $2.5 billion to ramp up his wildfire and forest resilience action plan. He says that builds on the $200 million the state invests in fire prevention programs annually.
