What this bill would do

This bill, known as the National Fire Academy Reporting Act, aims to amend the Federal Fire Prevention and Control Act of 1974. It requires the Administrator to submit an annual report to Congress regarding the National Academy for Fire Prevention and Control. The report must include details on courses and programs offered during the previous fiscal year. It also calls for data on fire department attendance and the number of programs cancelled. Additionally, the report must track the distribution of specific funds awarded to training programs and students.
