Bill Summary

An act to amend Section 4495 of the Public Resources Code, relating to fire prevention.

AI Summary

This bill makes a minor, nonsubstantive change to existing law regarding fire prevention, specifically concerning air quality and smoke monitoring. The current law, which requires the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and the State Air Resources Board to develop and fund a program for enhanced air quality and smoke monitoring and a public awareness campaign about prescribed burns, is being amended. The bill's primary effect is to change the wording from "may include" to "need not be limited to" when describing potential components of the program, such as purchasing new, rapidly deployable air quality monitors, and to ensure adequate funding for local air districts' participation.
