appropriation; fire incident management grants.

SB 1149 appropriates $6.5 million from Arizona's state general fund for fiscal year 2025-2026 to fund fire incident management grants for municipal fire departments and fire districts. The grants cover the full cost of secure incident management systems meeting federal emergency management standards, including features like standardized terminology, real-time resource tracking, secure messaging, and offline functionality. The system must enable clear command structures, safety monitoring, and collaboration between agencies during incidents, including mass casualty events. Grants are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis and fully fund the systems for three years.
