Relating to establishment of the temporary prescribed burn manager self-insurance pool; authorizing a fee.

SB 2510 establishes a temporary self-insurance pool for certified prescribed burn managers in Texas, administered by the Texas A&M Forest Service. The program provides liability coverage specifically for prescribed burns conducted by participating managers, excluding workers' compensation, auto liability, or professional errors. A fee will be authorized to fund the pool, with coverage limits aligned to minimum requirements under Natural Resources Code. Participation requires a written request to the program, and managers must meet eligibility and safety standards set by the service.
