The proposed bill, if enacted, would update current statutes by appropriating a total of $12,750,000 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2025-2026. Specifically, it would allocate $12,500,000 to the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management (DFFM) for grants to fire districts aimed at enhancing wildfire readiness and response. The DFFM would be required to distribute these funds equally among its five district offices, with the stipulation that only fire districts designated as fire cooperators can receive the grants. Additionally, the funds can only be used for purchasing type 3 and type 6 fire engines and tactical water tenders.

Furthermore, the bill would appropriate $250,000 to the Arizona Trail Fund, which is established for the development and maintenance of the Arizona Trail. This appropriation would be exempt from lapsing, meaning the funds would not expire at the end of the fiscal year. These updates would enhance the state's capacity to manage wildfire risks and support the preservation of the Arizona Trail.
