The proposed bill establishes a Firefighting Training Facility Grant Program aimed at funding capital construction, maintenance, repair projects, and equipment purchases for local government firefighting authorities. It creates a dedicated infrastructure account within the state special revenue fund to provide grant funding, with the Department of Military Affairs responsible for administering the account. The bill authorizes up to $5 million in grants for various projects, with specific eligibility criteria and application processes outlined for local authorities. Additionally, it stipulates that grant recipients must document matching funds on a one-to-one basis, ensuring that for every dollar received in grant funding, an equal amount is contributed by the recipient.

The bill also includes provisions for the transfer of funds from the capital developments long-range building program account to the firefighting training facility infrastructure account, with a total appropriation of $5 million for the biennium beginning July 1, 2025. This funding is authorized to continue through the biennium beginning July 1, 2029. The act is set to take effect on June 30, 2025, and will terminate on June 30, 2031.
