The bill also provides that such aircraft may be used to deliver water by air in order to suppress wildfire (the previous authority only provided for the delivery of fire retardant). The bill removes the previous limitation on providing international wildfire suppression assistance with such purchased aircraft.

The bill provides exceptions for specified procedures, such as treating certain genetic abnormalities or preventing imminent death or impairment of a major bodily function, when performed by a health care provider with the consent of the individual’s parent or legal guardian.
