AI Summary

This bill appropriates $6,500,000 from the state general fund in fiscal year 2025-2026 to the Arizona Department of Administration for a fire incident management grant program. Up to $250,000 can be used for program administration, while the remaining funds will provide grants to municipal fire departments and fire districts to purchase hardware and software for a standardized incident management platform. The platform must meet specific requirements, including enabling a secure, statewide system that supports incident command and management based on Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) standards. Key capabilities include establishing a clear chain of command, ensuring first responder safety, tracking resource assignments, enabling secure communication and file sharing, and providing smartphone-based applications for notification and situational awareness. Fire departments can apply for grants on a first-come, first-served basis, with grants fully funding the incident management system for three years. Any unencumbered grant funds within one year must be returned to the department. By December 31, 2025, the Department of Administration must submit a report to legislative leadership and the governor detailing grant applicants and recipients. The appropriation is exempt from standard state appropriation lapsing provisions, allowing the funds to be used beyond the typical fiscal year limitations.
