Bill Summary
CONCERNING ASSISTANCE FOR RURAL COMMUNITIES TO APPLY FOR WILDFIRE-RELATED GRANT MONEY, AND, IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, MAKING AN APPROPRIATION.
AI Summary
This bill establishes the Rural Grant Navigator Grant Program, which will provide grant funding for non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that offer outreach and technical assistance, including grant writing help, to rural communities seeking federal or state grants related to wildfire mitigation and preparedness. The bill requires the Colorado State Forest Service to consult with NGOs to develop eligibility, application, and participation requirements for the program. The Forest Service must also consult with various state agencies and rural counties to assess the program's success and submit annual reports to legislative committees. The bill appropriates $300,000 from the General Fund to the Department of Higher Education for the Colorado State Forest Service to implement the program.
