Extreme Heat Congressional Advisory Commission Act
Extreme Heat: National Advisory Commission
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It has been sent to two House committees for review and is not yet scheduled for a vote. The bill is considered active as it waits for these committees to begin their work.
Legislative Progress
While the bill has support from both parties, many bills that create new commissions face delays in Congress unless they are added to a larger must-pass law.
Key Points
- This bill would create a new group called the National Advisory Commission on Extreme Heat and Global Security. This 22-member team would study how extreme heat affects the United States and the rest of the world over the next decade.
- The commission will look at how rising temperatures hurt the economy, food supplies, and military readiness. Their main goal is to find ways to lower the number of people who get sick or die from heat-related causes.
- The group will include experts in medicine, weather science, and national security. They are required to hold public meetings and listening sessions to understand how heat affects different towns and cities.
- Within one year of starting, the commission must release a plan with quick steps the government can take to protect people. A more detailed long-term plan would follow a few years later to help the country prepare for future heat waves.
