TX SB2510

Establishes a temporary self-insurance pool administered by the Texas A&M Forest Service to provide general liability coverage for certified prescribed burn managers conducting controlled burns

Creates the Prescribed Burn Manager Self-Insurance Fund with up to $25 million in legislative appropriations, plus fees collected from participating managers and accrued interest

Requires participating prescribed burn managers to complete a wildfire suppression course meeting National Wildfire Coordinating Group standards, covering coordination with fire departments and wildfire suppression assistance

Authorizes the service to assess fees and establish cost-sharing requirements including deductibles, and to terminate participation or refer managers for disciplinary action if they file excessive claims

Limits the state's liability to the assets of the fund only, and sets the program to expire on September 1, 2040, with remaining funds transferring to the statewide fire contingency account
