A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4076 AS INTRODUCED 1-31-01
Under the Emergency Management Act, upon the declaration of a state of emergency or a state of disaster by the governor, the governor may authorize the expenditure of state funds to assist counties and municipalities under certain circumstances. Under the act, grants from the disaster contingency fund may not exceed $30,000 or 10 percent of the local unit's total operating budget for the preceding fiscal year, whichever is less. The bill would amend the act to increase the maximum grant amount to $100,000.
