National Domestic Preparedness Consortium Reauthorization Act

Key Points

• This bill keeps a group of specialized training centers running through 2031. These centers teach police, firefighters, and medical workers how to handle major emergencies like terrorist attacks, natural disasters, or hazardous chemical leaks.
• It adds a new member to the group: the Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium in Kentucky. This change is designed to help small towns and rural areas get better training for emergencies that are unique to their communities.
• The plan increases federal spending for these training programs over the next five years. It starts at $111 million in 2027 and gradually climbs to $125 million by 2031 to help cover rising costs and new safety technology.
• The bill includes a safety net for existing training sites in states like Louisiana, Texas, and Nevada. It ensures these established programs won't see their budgets cut below what they received in 2023, even as new centers are added to the list.
