This bill, if enacted, would update current statutes by appropriating $5,000,000 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2025-2026 specifically to the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management (DFFM). The funds are designated for distribution to the City of Payson to support a fire contingency program. This addition aims to enhance fire management and preparedness in the region.

The bill introduces new language that specifies the appropriation and its intended use, while the existing statutes regarding the responsibilities and functions of the DFFM remain unchanged. The bill does not delete any current provisions but rather supplements them with the new funding directive.
