This bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating a total of $9,000,000 from the state General Fund for the fiscal year 2026 to the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management (DFFM). The funds are designated for distribution to specific municipalities as part of a White Mountain fire contingency program. The municipalities receiving these funds include the Taylor-Snowflake fire and medical department, the City of Show Low, and the Town of Pinetop-Lakeside, each allocated $3,000,000.

The bill introduces new language to the existing statutes, specifying the amounts and recipients of the appropriations. The current law remains unchanged, but the new provisions clearly outline the financial support aimed at enhancing fire management and preparedness in the designated areas.
