Plain-English Summary
The proposal would give the President the power to officially declare a smoke emergency when wildfire smoke or other smoke sources create serious public health threats across the country. During such a declared emergency, the federal government could coordinate response efforts and potentially provide additional resources to affected states and communities to protect people from dangerous air quality. The bill is currently under review by the Senate committee responsible for homeland security matters.
