Utah Wildfire Research Institute Act of 2025
This bill amends the Southwest Forest Health and Wildfire Prevention Act of 2004 to add Utah as an eligible state for the Wildfire Research Institute program. It updates two specific sections of the law - adding Utah to the list of states that can establish such institutes and modifying a reference to include Utah alongside Colorado. The bill directly affects Utah by enabling it to participate in the existing federal research program. No new funding, regulations, or policy changes are introduced; it solely expands eligibility under current law.
