AI Summary

This bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services to develop and provide free training on how to respond to a release of carbon dioxide from projects that capture, transport via pipelines, or store this gas, which includes identifying such releases, communicating alerts to the public, evacuating affected areas to safety, and treating exposure symptoms. The department will collaborate with various emergency and health professionals to create this training, which will be made available online and provided to disaster relief forces, operators of these projects, healthcare facilities, and first responders. Additionally, the bill establishes a dedicated fund, the "carbon dioxide emergency planning and training fund," to cover the costs of developing and delivering this training, as well as providing grants for local governments and other entities to enhance their preparedness and response capabilities for carbon dioxide releases, including purchasing necessary equipment like detection devices and electric vehicles.
