Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 4 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Five-year funding for NOAA heat work
The bill would authorize $5 million each year for fiscal years 2025 through 2029 for NOAA. The money would support NIHHIS and its interagency committee, including administrative costs. This is only an authorization; Congress would still need to appropriate the funds before any money is spent.
National heat health system and coordination
This bill would set up a National Integrated Heat Health Information System at NOAA. It would share heat data, forecasts, and warnings, and build tools to cut heat risks. A federal committee with many agencies would coordinate this work. The committee would meet at least quarterly, write a 5-year plan within two years, and brief Congress every five years. If enacted, agencies would carry out parts of the plan that fit their roles.
Open heat data and records
The bill would require NIHHIS data and metadata to be open to the public when the law allows. NOAA would store and steward the archival records at the National Centers for Environmental Information. The Under Secretary would name at least one warning coordination meteorologist at NCEI. If passed, this could make heat risk information easier to find and use.
Defines heat terms for agencies
The bill would define key terms such as extreme heat, heat event (two days or more), heat-health, planning, preparedness, and Tribal government. These definitions would guide how agencies apply the bill. They would not directly give money or benefits to households.
