Grants for Clean Air Centers and Free Purifiers During Wildfire Smoke.

This law authorizes grants for local air pollution agencies to protect citizens from wildfire smoke. The program provides free, high-quality air filtration units to low-income households and individuals vulnerable due to health conditions or age. It also mandates the creation of public "Clean Air Centers" to serve as safe havens during heavy smoke events.
Key points
Free distribution of at least 1,000 certified air purifiers and replacement filters to low-income, high-risk households in smoke-prone areas.
Establishment of public, staffed "Clean Air Centers" accessible during wildfire smoke events for community safety.
$30 million is authorized to fund these local health protection programs between 2024 and 2026.
