It authorizes $32.0 million per year for smoke monitoring and alerts (2026–2035) and $1.0 million per year for the NIOSH assessment (2026–2028). - Federal coordination, science, and recovery are boosted by a NOAA Joint Office, dynamic risk maps, a Wildfire Digital Data Center, and FEMA changes that ease use of excess management funds and create a Wildland Fire Major Disaster treatment. The bill authorizes $15.0 million per year for NOAA risk mapping (2026–2030) and $15.0 million per year for the digital data center (2026–2035).

HR3338 — MARKET CHOICE Act

Creates a U.S. carbon pricing system and directs most revenue to a new climate and infrastructure trust fund. The bill would tax fossil fuel combustion, industrial process emissions, and certain product uses and create the RISE Trust Fund to allocate revenues to highways, flood resilience, energy R&D, and targeted household and worker programs. - Low-income households: State grants from the RISE Trust Fund would target households at or below 150% of the poverty line and program participants such as SNAP recipients. Ten percent of RISE proceeds are set aside for these state grants. - Displaced energy workers: A ten-year program would fund retraining, relocation, early retirement, health benefits, community block grants, and limited pension transfers for affected energy and nuclear workers. - Businesses and trade: Producers and importers of fuels and certain manufacturers would face a CO2e tax starting at $40 per metric ton in 2027 and rising each year by 5% plus inflation.
