exceptional events; air quality; wildfires

HB 2013 amends Arizona's air quality statute to clarify how the state handles "exceptional events" like wildfires. It requires the state air quality agency to develop policy statements for such events, considering Arizona's unique conditions, and mandates submitting wildfire-related demonstrations to the U.S. EPA if federally managed wildfires affect the state. The bill also adds a requirement for the agency to issue daily PM-10 dust forecasts for nonattainment areas, identifying risk levels based on weather, pollution data, and historical patterns. These changes directly affect the state air quality agency's procedures for managing air pollution during extreme events.
