The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes by appropriating $6.5 million 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. This funding would be allocated with a cap of $250,000 for ADOA's administrative costs, including audits of grant recipients, while the remaining funds would be directed towards grants for municipal fire departments and fire districts. The bill outlines specific requirements for the hardware and software to be funded, including the establishment of a secure incident management platform and a standardized incident command system that adheres to federal standards.

Additionally, the bill introduces provisions for collaboration and communication solutions that enhance incident management capabilities, such as resource tracking, secure messaging, and the ability to operate in areas without internet access. It allows each municipal fire department or fire district to submit grant requests and mandates that grants be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis, fully funding the costs of the secure incident management system for three years. Overall, the bill aims to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of fire incident management across Arizona.
