Requires a federal study to measure the financial costs of extreme heat on Americans.
This bill would require a federal agency to study the financial costs of extreme heat on people and businesses across the country. The study would look at things like health impacts, property damage, and higher energy bills. Its findings would be made public, helping us understand the true economic toll of extreme heat.
Today, there isn't a federal requirement for a detailed study on the full financial costs of extreme heat, including the dollar value of lives lost and property damaged. If this bill becomes law, the Under Secretary of Commerce for Oceans and Atmosphere would be required to conduct such a study, with up to $3,500,000 authorized in funding for it. The findings would be published publicly online within four years.
