The Wildfire Smoke and Health Outcomes Data Act.

Summary

The bill directs the State Department of Public Health, in partnership with CAL FIRE and the Wildfire and Forest Resilience Task Force, to build and run a unified data platform that combines smoke exposure and health outcome information from many sources. It also establishes a fund for the agencies to collect, manage, and improve that data, and requires the department to publish data‑sharing protocols and a strategic plan. The goal is to give policymakers clearer insight into how wildfire smoke affects public health and whether forest‑health investments are working.
