The bill amends Chapter 30-15 of the General Laws, titled "Emergency Management," by introducing a new section, 30-15-46, which mandates the General Assembly to make an annual appropriation of at least $80,000 to the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency. This funding is intended to enhance emergency communications during significant or multiple emergency incidents, particularly when a community has exhausted its resources and requires assistance from mutual aid control centers.

Additionally, the bill specifies the distribution of these funds, allocating no less than $12,500 to designated metro control, east bay control, northern control, and southern control communities, and at least $7,500 to back-up control centers. The act is set to take effect upon passage, reinforcing the state's commitment to improving emergency management and response capabilities.
