The proposed bill, if enacted, would update current statutes by appropriating $12,500,000 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2025-2026 to the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management (DFFM) specifically for awarding grants to fire districts aimed at enhancing wildfire readiness and response. This funding would be allocated equally among DFFM's five district offices and is restricted to fire districts designated as fire cooperators by the department.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the appropriated funds can only be utilized by grant recipients for the purchase of specific equipment, namely type 3 and type 6 fire engines, as well as tactical water tenders. This targeted allocation aims to ensure that the funds are used effectively to bolster the firefighting capabilities of the designated fire districts.
