The bill establishes a new "military department emergency fire suppression account" to manage and fund emergency fire suppression efforts on state lands overseen by the military department. It defines "emergency fire" as any fire that threatens to exceed the military department's fire control capabilities. The account will consist of legislative appropriations and any additional funds received, such as donations and grants. Notably, any unspent funds in this account will not lapse and will remain available for future use. The adjutant general is authorized to approve expenditures from this account for the actual costs incurred in suppressing emergency fires.

Additionally, the bill includes an appropriation of $2 million from the general fund to the newly created account, which is designated solely for emergency fire suppression and cannot be used for any other purpose. The military department is tasked with creating necessary rules to implement the provisions of this act. The effective date for this legislation is set for July 1, 2024.
