National Fire Academy Reporting Act

The National Fire Academy Reporting Act amends the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974 to enhance transparency and oversight of the National Academy for Fire Prevention and Control. This legislation mandates that the Academy submit an annual report to Congress by November 30th of each year, beginning the first full year after the bill's enactment. These comprehensive reports will provide detailed information about the Academy's educational offerings and their reach. Specifically, the reports must include the total number of fire departments and personnel who attended courses, disaggregated by state and by career or volunteer status. Furthermore, the Academy must report on the total number of courses offered and cancelled , along with the amount of funds awarded to state and local fire service training programs and directly to students attending Academy programs.
