Amends the Clean Air Act to create grant programs and research centers addressing wildfire smoke and extreme heat. Authorizes air pollution agencies to receive grants for monitoring, outreach, filtration, PPE, and subgrants.
Disagreement over scale and permanence of federal spending
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill establishes a multi-part federal program—grant funding under the Clean Air Act, centers of excellence at institutions of higher education, directed research, and a competitive planning grant program—with clear purpose and several implementation elements but substantial discretion left to the Administrator.

Disagreement over scale and permanence of federal spending
These are examples from the analysis, not a ranked list of the most-affected groups.
Disagreement over scale and permanence of federal spending
Generally strongly supportive because the bill prioritizes public health, environmental justice, and community resilience.
Values the research centers, local grants, and provisions for filtration and PPE.
Likely to press for stronger, guaranteed funding and explicit prioritization of frontline communities and workers.
Supportive but pragmatic; welcomes targeted preparedness and evidence-based research while seeking accountability.
Wants clear funding levels, measurable outcomes, and avoidance of duplication.
Will seek administrative clarity on formulas and program delivery.
Skeptical of expanded federal programs and recurring spending; prefers state and local control.
May accept limited, clearly time‑bound preparedness assistance but worry about long-term obligations, regulatory creep, and federal priority-setting.
