SB 2510 creates the Prescribed Burn Manager Self-Insurance Pool, administered by the Texas A&M Forest Service. The program provides liability coverage for certified burn managers who conduct controlled burns to manage vegetation and reduce wildfire risks. The bill establishes a self-insurance fund, funded through state appropriations and participant fees, to cover claims related to prescribed burns. It also requires participating burn managers to complete fire suppression training and allows the program to terminate coverage for excessive claims​.
