The bill amends Chapter 30-15 of the General Laws, titled "Emergency Management," by adding a new section, 30-15-46, which establishes funding to support mutual aid control centers. It mandates that the General Assembly make an annual appropriation of not less than eighty thousand dollars ($80,000) to the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency in the executive department, created pursuant to the provisions of 30-15-5. This funding is intended to assist with emergency communications during major or multiple emergency incidents or when a community has exhausted its emergency resources and has requested assistance through mutual aid agreements.

The bill specifies the distribution of these funds, allocating not less than twelve thousand five hundred dollars ($12,500) to the communities designated as metro control, east bay control, northern control, and southern control, and at least seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500) to the communities designated as back-up control centers. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
