AI Summary
This bill appropriates $4,000,000 from the state's General Fund for the fiscal year 2025-2026 to the Military Department, specifically for Program No. 545, which focuses on Emergency Management. This funding is intended to provide grants for equipment to be used in emergency rescue events. To qualify for these grants, political subdivisions, which are local government entities like cities or counties, must demonstrate their ability to assist in statewide rescue operations. The grants are strictly for purchasing equipment that aids in various emergency situations, including water rescues, wide-area searches during events like tornadoes and floods, structural collapse incidents, and hazardous materials emergencies. The bill also declares an emergency, meaning it will become law immediately upon passage and approval.
