The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes by appropriating $6,500,000 from the state general fund for a Fire Incident Management Grant Program administered by the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) for fiscal year 2025-2026. It stipulates that no more than $250,000 of the appropriated funds may be used for program administration, including audits of grant recipients. The remaining funds are designated for grants to municipal fire departments and fire districts to acquire hardware and software that enable a secure incident management platform, provide a standardized incident command system based on FEMA standards, and facilitate collaboration and communication among agencies.

Additionally, the bill allows each municipal fire department or fire district to submit grant requests for the costs associated with the secure incident management system. Grants will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis and must fully fund the system's costs for three years. The bill outlines specific requirements for the incident management platform, including ensuring a defined chain of command, common terminology, and the safety of first responders, as well as providing various functionalities such as secure messaging, resource tracking, and offline operation capabilities.
