The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes by appropriating $2,000,000 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2025-2026 to the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) specifically for a fire incident management grant program. It stipulates that no more than $250,000 of the appropriated funds may be used for administrative purposes, 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 facilitate a secure incident management platform, ensuring a standardized command structure and effective resource management.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific functionalities that the incident management system must provide, such as collaboration and communication solutions, resource tracking, and the ability to operate without internet access. It allows each municipal fire department or fire district to apply for grants, which will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, fully funding the costs for three years. ADOA is also required to submit a report detailing grant applicants and awards by December 31, 2025. The appropriation is exempt from lapsing provisions, ensuring the funds remain available for their intended purpose.
