First Responders’ Equipment Access Act

Summary

The bill orders the EPA administrator to change existing regulations so manufacturers can request a national‑security exemption for engines and equipment used by law‑enforcement, fire, EMS, disaster‑relief, and search‑and‑rescue agencies. A federal defense or Homeland Security agency, such as FEMA, must endorse the request, and the request does not have to list a specific quantity. The change is intended to speed access to critical equipment for public‑safety missions.
