Bill > HR4077

This bill, known as the Cleaner Air Spaces Act of 2023, directs the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to provide grants to air pollution control agencies to implement a cleaner air space program. The program aims to establish clean air centers in areas at risk of wildland fire smoke exposure, distribute free eligible air filtration units to low-income households with high-risk individuals, and collect data on the program's implementation and effectiveness. The bill sets grant requirements, such as a maximum of $3 million per agency and a requirement to partner with community-based organizations. The EPA is required to submit a report to Congress within three years, providing recommendations on whether the program should be expanded and how it can be improved.
