If enacted, this bill 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). This funding is designated for distribution to the City of Payson to support a fire contingency program. The bill introduces new language that specifies the amount and purpose of the appropriation, which is not currently outlined in existing statutes.

The bill does not delete any existing language but adds new provisions to ensure that the funding is allocated for fire management efforts in Payson. This addition aims to enhance the state's capacity to manage fire risks and improve preparedness for wildfires in the region. Overall, the bill seeks to bolster fire management resources through targeted financial support.
