Establishes standard operating procedures for reciprocal fire suppression cost share agreements.

The Fire Department Repayment Act of 2025 mandates the establishment of standard operating procedures for reciprocal fire suppression cost share agreements. These procedures must include payment timelines and ensure alignment with cooperative fire protection agreements. The bill requires federal entities to reimburse local fire departments for fire suppression costs if invoices are submitted according to cost settlement procedures. It also expresses the sense of Congress that repayments should occur within one year of fire suppression.
