Provide grant funding for firefighting training facilities

This bill creates a grant program to help local fire departments in Montana build, maintain, or upgrade their firefighting training facilities and equipment. The Montana Department of Military Affairs will manage the program, which is funded by a $5 million state appropriation that can continue through 2029. Local fire agencies can apply for grants up to $250,000 per project, with a maximum of $500,000 per county and no more than two projects funded in any single county. To receive funding, applicants must submit proposals, follow department guidelines, and may need to provide a 1% cash or service match for grants of $25,000 or more.
