Not later than one month after completing the study, the center shall submit a report to the wildfire matters review committee and to the judiciary committees of the house of representatives and senate, or to any successor committees. The report must address each item of the center's study, as well as the results of the pilot program.
The bill adds the study and the pilot program as permissible uses of money from the existing Colorado firefighting air corps fund.
