What this bill would do
The "Cleaner Air Spaces Act of 2025" directs the EPA Administrator to provide grants to air pollution control agencies to implement a cleaner air space program. These grants are intended to help agencies establish clean air centers and distribute air filtration units to specific households. Agencies must partner with community-based organizations to carry out these requirements. The program specifically targets areas at risk of exposure to wildland fire smoke. It also aims to provide resources to low-income communities with vulnerable individuals.
