This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating $5,000,000 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2025-2026 to the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management (DFFM) specifically for the continuation of the White Mountain Fire Program. The new language emphasizes the financial support aimed at enhancing fire management efforts in the region.

The bill introduces new provisions that specify the appropriation amount and the intended use of the funds, while the existing statutes regarding the DFFM and its responsibilities remain unchanged. The insertion of this appropriation reflects a commitment to ongoing fire management and prevention initiatives without altering the foundational legal framework governing the DFFM.
