AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill directs the Secretaries of Agriculture and the Interior to select at least 8 colleges or universities through a competitive process to host regional wildland fire research centers, with at least one center in each of eight U.S. regions, starting with a pilot of at least 2 centers. The centers would study wildfire causes, spread, smoke, and recovery, build prediction models and tools, run training programs, and share their data openly. A National Center Coordination Board would coordinate the centers and hold public meetings, and each center would have an unpaid Regional Advisory Board of agency, state, tribal, and other representatives. The bill authorizes $60 million to $64 million per year for the centers and $1 million per year for the Board for fiscal years 2026 through 2030.
