No CRS summary available for this bill.
This section revises the National Domestic Preparedness Consortium (NDPC)—a DHS program of centers that identify, develop, test, and deliver training and education to public safety and emergency response providers—as follows: (1) updates names and affiliations of four members, replaces two others, and adds an eighth member (the Rural Domestic Preparedness Consortium of the Center for Rural Development, Somerset, Kentucky); (2) expands training recipients to include territorial public safety providers and authorizes delivery through various modalities; and (3) authorizes aggregate appropriations for the seven non-Center for Domestic Preparedness members of $111 million in FY2027, increasing annually to $125 million in FY2031 (previously, $22 million to $25.5 million per entity annually for six entities in FY2008-FY2011). This section further revises the savings provision to require funding for six specified members (b)(2)-(7) to be not less than FY2023 levels, with proportional allocation if underfunded (per FY2023 shares) and equal distribution of any increases.
