Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works.
Summary
The bill changes the Clean Air Act so that data from wildfires or prescribed‑fire actions can be treated as “exceptional events” and excluded from certain air‑quality determinations. It gives states a formal process to petition the EPA to omit such data when evaluating standards, violations, or planning, and requires the EPA to update regulations and post petition status online. This aims to improve how wildfire smoke impacts are accounted for in air‑quality management.
