This bill reauthorizes the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium, a federal program that provides emergency response training and education to state, local, tribal, and territorial public safety personnel. The bill updates the consortium's member organizations and clarifies that training can be delivered through various formats at different locations. It adds a new member—the Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium in Somerset, Kentucky—and makes technical updates to existing member organization names. The bill authorizes $111 million for fiscal year 2027, increasing incrementally to $125 million by 2031 for all consortium members to use in providing training and education. A key protection ensures that each existing member receives at least the same funding level they received in 2023, with any budget shortfalls distributed proportionally based on historical allocation patterns.
