Fire suppression account appropriations.
This bill appropriates $1 million annually from the general fund to Wyoming's emergency fire suppression account starting July 1, 2020, with a cap preventing transfers if the account balance reaches $25 million by June 30. It also adds a one-time $20 million appropriation to the same account. These funds directly support state fire suppression efforts by ensuring dedicated resources for wildfire response. The bill creates no new policy or procedures - it solely allocates existing state funds to an established account. The funding becomes effective immediately upon the bill's enactment.
