The bill proposes to update current statutes by appropriating $3,500,000 from the state general fund for the fiscal year 2025-2026. This funding is designated for the department of administration, which will be responsible for distributing the allocated funds to the city of Flagstaff. The purpose of this appropriation is to support the design and construction of a wildfire management and training center.
Currently, there are no provisions in the law regarding this specific appropriation or the establishment of a wildfire management and training center in Flagstaff. The bill introduces new language to facilitate this funding and project, thereby enhancing the state's capacity to manage wildfire risks and improve training for emergency response.
