This bill proposes to appropriate $25,000,000 from the state general fund to the Department of Administration for distribution to Gila County specifically for flood relief efforts during the fiscal year 2025-2026. The funds can be utilized for various purposes, including flood prevention, capital expenditures, mitigation projects, debris removal, emergency liabilities, engineering costs, financial assistance for infrastructure repairs, matching funds for grants, reimbursement for emergency-related costs, administrative expenses, and economic development infrastructure in flood-affected areas. Additionally, the bill stipulates that Gila County must seek federal reimbursement for expenditures and can only distribute funds for emergency repairs as a last resort after exhausting other payment sources.

Furthermore, the bill mandates Gila County to submit monthly reports detailing expenditures and reimbursements related to the appropriation, ensuring transparency and accountability. It also exempts the appropriation from lapsing provisions under current law, allowing the funds to remain available until fully utilized. The act is classified as an emergency measure, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage.
