HR 6387 Passed House — in Senate

Sponsored by Gabe Evans (R)

FIRE Act

Lets states exclude wildfire smoke and prescribed burns from air quality violation counts.

Tradeoff

Allows states to ignore pollution from wildfires and controlled burns when measuring air quality compliance. Makes it easier for areas to meet federal air standards when smoke from fires affects readings.
