Concerning aviation assurance funding in response to wildland fires.

This bill makes permanent a pilot program that provides funding for local and tribal fire departments to use aviation resources, like planes dropping fire retardant or water, to fight wildland fires. It aims to help local fire departments quickly suppress fires, protecting natural resources and communities, and potentially reducing the need for larger state and federal responses. The bill removes the expiration date of the previous program, ensuring continued financial support for these aviation efforts.
