Aerial Firefighting Enhancement Act of 2025

Aerial Firefighting Enhancement Act of 2025 This bill reauthorizes the Department of Defense to sell its excess aircraft and aircraft parts that are acceptable for commercial sale for wildfire suppression purposes. Such authority begins October 1, 2025, and ends October 1, 2035. The bill also provides that such aircraft may be used to deliver water by air in order to suppress wildfire (the previous authority only provided for the delivery of fire retardant). The bill removes the previous limitation on providing international wildfire suppression assistance with such purchased aircraft.

No recorded floor vote

Most bills never receive a recorded roll-call vote — they're referred to committee and don't advance to the floor. The sponsor and funding context on this page still tells you who is behind it and what industries have a stake.
