HB2767 is a bill that amends the current law regarding the Emergency Management Assistance Compact and Arizona Mutual Aid Compact Revolving Fund. The bill expands the sources of funding for the Fund to include reimbursements for costs incurred not only by the State of Arizona but also by any supporting partners of the state while rendering aid in response to Arizona Mutual Aid Compact requests that are coordinated and approved by the Division of Emergency Management. Additionally, the bill allows for the use of the Fund to reimburse supporting partners and state agencies that respond to such requests.
The bill also renames the Fund to include both the Emergency Management Assistance Compact and the Arizona Mutual Aid Compact. It defines "Arizona Mutual Aid Compact," "division," and "supporting partner," with the latter now explicitly including federally recognized Indian Tribes that have fully executed Arizona Mutual Aid Compact agreements. The bill is set to become effective on the general effective date.
