National Landslide Preparedness Act Reauthorization Act of 2025...
To improve the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's weather research, support improvements in weather forecasting and prediction, expand commercial opportunities for the provision of weather data, and for other purposes.
This bill aims to enhance the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) weather research capabilities, improve weather forecasting and prediction, and expand commercial opportunities for weather data services. It includes several related acts that focus on different aspects of weather and environmental research, such as landslide preparedness, heat illness prevention, harmful algal blooms, and hypoxia research.
The bill would primarily impact NOAA and organizations involved in weather forecasting and environmental research. Improved weather research and forecasting could benefit various sectors, including agriculture, aviation, and emergency management, by providing more accurate and timely weather information. Expanded commercial opportunities for weather data could also stimulate economic growth in the private sector.
As of June 6, 2025, the bill has been introduced in the House and referred to the Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, as well as the Committees on Natural Resources, Energy and Commerce, and Foreign Affairs. These committees will review the bill's provisions and may schedule hearings or markup sessions to further discuss and refine the legislation.
