Utah Wildfire Research Institute Act of 2025

This bill, known as the Utah Wildfire Research Institute Act of 2025 , seeks to expand the scope of the existing Southwest Forest Health and Wildfire Prevention Act of 2004. Its primary purpose is to require the establishment of an additional Institute under the provisions of that Act. Specifically, the legislation amends Section 5(b)(2) of the original Act to include the State of Utah among the locations where such an Institute can be established. A conforming amendment also updates Section 5(e)(1) to explicitly include Utah in the geographic focus of these Institutes, thereby facilitating wildfire research and prevention efforts within the state.
