S 2151 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Utah Wildfire Research Institute Act of 2023

This bill adds Utah to the existing Southwest Forest Health and Wildfire Prevention Act's research institute program. It amends two sections of the 2004 law to include Utah as a participating state alongside Colorado, specifically by adding "Utah" to Section 5(b)(2)(D) and updating Section 5(e)(1). The change directly affects Utah by enabling the state to participate in the federal wildfire research institute established under the 2004 Act. The bill makes a procedural update to the law's eligibility requirements without creating new funding or policy changes.
