The bill amends the existing law regarding the Emergency Management Assistance Compact and establishes the Arizona Mutual Aid Compact Revolving Fund. It allows the Fund to include reimbursement monies received for costs incurred by the State of Arizona and its supporting partners while providing aid in response to requests coordinated by the Division of Emergency Management. Additionally, the bill expands the use of the Fund to reimburse both supporting partners and state agencies that respond to these requests.

Key changes include the renaming of the Fund to the "Emergency Management Assistance Compact and Arizona Mutual Aid Compact Revolving Fund," and the introduction of definitions for terms such as "Arizona Mutual Aid Compact," "division," and "supporting partner." The definition of "supporting partner" is broadened to include counties, cities, towns, private utilities, special taxing districts, and federally recognized Indian tribes that have executed the Arizona Mutual Aid Compact agreement. Overall, the bill enhances the financial framework for emergency management assistance in Arizona.
