H.R. 9243 — Wildfire Smoke Emergency Declaration Act of 2026

This section authorizes the President to declare a smoke emergency in any State experiencing or anticipating significant air quality declines from wildland fire smoke, following a request from the affected State's governor. It directs FEMA and other agencies to provide grants, equipment, supplies, personnel, smoke shelters, air purifiers, and monitoring sites to impacted states and communities, and permits the Small Business Administration to award grants to small businesses losing significant revenue in declared areas.

This section establishes a budget adjustment to discretionary spending limits equal to the total amount of appropriations Congress designates for smoke emergency assistance in a fiscal year. It defines such assistance as that provided under a determination pursuant to section 2 of the Wildfire Smoke Emergency Declaration Act of 2026, and bars those funds from the disaster relief adjustment under subparagraph (A).
