Texas SB2510 establishes a temporary prescribed burn manager self-insurance pool and authorizes a fee.

Texas SB2510 amends the Insurance Code to establish a temporary prescribed burn manager self-insurance pool. The Texas A&M Forest Service will administer the program, which provides general liability coverage for prescribed burns conducted by certified managers. The fund for this coverage is composed of up to $25 million appropriated by the legislature, fees collected from managers, and interest on the fund. The state's liability for covered losses is limited to the fund's assets. Managers must complete a wildfire suppression course and report data on each burn.
