Bill > AB307

This bill amends an existing section of the Public Resources Code related to wildfire prevention funding under the Safe Drinking Water, Wildfire Prevention, Drought Preparedness, and Clean Air Bond Act of 2024. Specifically, the bill requires that out of $25 million allocated to the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection for technologies to improve fire detection and assessment, $10 million must be specifically dedicated to the ALERTCalifornia fire camera mapping system. ALERTCalifornia is a network of high-resolution cameras positioned across California that help detect and monitor wildfire activity in real-time, providing critical early warning and situational awareness for firefighters and emergency responders. The broader context is that this funding comes from a $10 billion bond measure approved by voters in the November 2024 general election, which aims to support various climate resilience and environmental protection initiatives, with a significant portion focused on wildfire prevention and forest resilience.
