This bill mandates a legislative management study focused on grant funding for emergency services and public safety during the 2025-26 interim. The study will evaluate various aspects, including the necessary amount of grant funding, potential funding sources, eligibility criteria for grant recipients, types of expenses that can be reimbursed, the appropriate agency for administering the grant program, and the establishment of a grant program oversight committee.

At the conclusion of the study, the legislative management is required to report its findings and recommendations, along with any proposed legislation needed to implement these recommendations, to the seventieth legislative assembly. This initiative aims to enhance the support and resources available for emergency services and public safety through effective grant funding mechanisms.
