Creates a NIOSH‑administered grant and training program to support research, development, testing, and workforce training for next‑generation firefighter turnout gear that avoids PFAS and reduces harmful exposures. The bill requires PFAS‑free standards in grant awards, funds research and training activities, and directs NIOSH to report progress to Congress.
The programs aim to speed development and adoption of protective, lower‑exposure turnout gear by funding partnerships among researchers, manufacturers, and fire service trainers, and by authorizing dedicated funding for research, testing, and training activities.
Referred to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, and in addition to the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
