The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes by appropriating a total of $2,545,000 from the state General Fund for fiscal year 2027 to the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) specifically for fire incident management. This funding would be distributed to various fire departments and districts, including amounts specified for each entity, such as $1,044,000 to the Scottsdale Fire Department and $145,700 to the Vernon Fire District. The bill outlines the intended use of these funds for hardware and software that support a secure incident management platform, ensuring effective collaboration and communication among fire and law enforcement agencies.

Additionally, the bill introduces requirements for the incident management platform, including the establishment of a clear chain of command, the use of common terminology, and the provision of a collaboration solution that allows for resource tracking, secure messaging, and information sharing during incidents. The appropriation is exempt from lapsing, meaning the allocated funds will not expire at the end of the fiscal year, ensuring that they remain available for their intended purpose.
