Summary

This bill appropriates approximately $2.6 million in fiscal year 2025-2026 and $2.7 million in fiscal year 2026-2027 from Arizona's nuclear emergency management fund to support off-site nuclear emergency response planning and operations. The funding will be distributed among four recipients: the state's division of emergency management ($1.27-1.31 million plus 8 positions), the Arizona Department of Agriculture ($347-353K plus 2.44 positions), Maricopa County agencies ($954-997K), and the city of Buckeye ($100K annually) for their respective roles in nuclear emergency response. These appropriations will be funded through assessments charged to consortiums of public service and municipal corporations that construct or operate commercial nuclear generating stations in Arizona, ensuring that nuclear facility operators bear the cost of emergency preparedness rather than general taxpayers.
