AB 2586 California Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Fire prevention: air quality and smoke monitoring.

Summary

Existing law requires the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and the State Air Resources Board to develop and fund a program, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to enhance air quality and smoke monitoring, and to provide a public awareness campaign regarding prescribed burns. This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that provision.

MINOR

No substantive policy changes were made between these two versions of AB 2586. The differences are entirely formatting and presentation: the first version is a formatted legislative document with line numbers and page breaks, while the second is a web-scraped rendering from the California legislature website that includes navigation elements, headers, and UI components. The actual bill text amending Section 4495 of the Public Resources Code is identical in both versions.

TECHNICAL

The bill text was reformatted from a numbered-line legislative document into a web page layout, adding website navigation elements (home, accessibility, FAQ, search, etc.) and removing line numbers and page break markers. No policy language was changed.
