Wildfire Emissions Prevention Act of 2026

Environment and Public Works Committee · Sen. John Curtis (R-UT)

16 September 2026 | Reported by committee (Environment and Public Works, without amendment, without written report)

What's next: Floor scheduling (leadership decides if and when it gets a vote)

Summary: The bill would amend federal clean air regulations to change how air quality is monitored and reported during prescribed fires—controlled burns used to reduce wildfire risk. It aims to prevent emissions from these preventive fire management practices from being counted against air quality standards in the same way as other pollution sources.
