Utah Wildfire Research Institute Act of 2025
This bill amends the existing Southwest Forest Health and Wildfire Prevention Act of 2004 to add the State of Utah as an eligible participant for the federal wildfire research institute. It updates two sections of the law: first, by adding Utah to the list of states eligible under Section 5(b)(2), and second, by including Utah alongside Colorado in Section 5(e)(1). The bill directly affects Utah by enabling the state to participate in the existing federal wildfire research program. This is a procedural change to expand eligibility, not a new program or funding mechanism.
