Built To Last Act of 2026

This bill directs the head of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (the Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere) to identify and support research on a single federal set of forward-looking, long-term weather information that models future extreme weather events and other environmental trends such as wildfires, flooding, and rising sea levels. The Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology would make this information public. The Director would also give advice and technical help to organizations that write standards, model building codes, and voluntary certifications so they can include this information. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy would set up a federal working group to support this effort.
