Bill overview
The Wildfire Smoke Relief Act aims to provide assistance to vulnerable individuals experiencing health problems due to wildfire smoke. It defines who is considered ‘at risk’ – including low-income families, seniors, pregnant women, and those with respiratory or cardiovascular conditions – and authorizes the President to provide financial support to state and local entities. This support will be used to purchase equipment like air filters and masks, as well as low-cost measures to reduce smoke exposure in homes, and to offer transitional shelter if necessary.
