This bill amends the funding provisions for local emergency management agencies in Iowa, specifically addressing the approved budget process. It clarifies that while the local emergency management commission determines the funding methods and sources, any countywide special levy used as a funding source must receive approval from the board of supervisors. This change is intended to ensure local oversight and accountability in the budgeting process for emergency management.

The bill will take effect for local emergency management agency budgets starting in fiscal years on or after July 1, 2027. This timeline allows for the necessary adjustments and preparations by local agencies and governing bodies to comply with the new requirements.
