Extreme Heat Congressional Advisory Commission Act
To establish an independent bipartisan National Advisory Commission on Extreme Heat and Global Security to develop short-term and long-term sustainable plans of action to mitigate and adapt to extreme heat and heat-related extreme weather events.
HB9301 aims to create an independent advisory commission focused on extreme heat and its impact on global security. The commission would develop plans to address both immediate and long-term challenges posed by extreme heat and related weather events. The bill was introduced by Representative Greg Stanton, with co-sponsorship from Representative Michael Lawler.
This legislation would affect a wide range of people, including those working in sectors like agriculture, construction, and public health, as well as communities most vulnerable to the effects of extreme heat. The commission's efforts could lead to better policies and practices for dealing with heat-related issues.
HB9301 was introduced on June 11, 2026, and has been referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Committee on Foreign Affairs. These committees will review the bill and may hold hearings or discussions before it moves forward in the legislative process.
