AN ACT AUTHORIZING BONDS OF THE STATE FOR INFRASTRUCTURE-RELATED TECHNOLOGICAL AND ELECTRIC UPGRADES TO MUNICIPAL FIREHOUSES.

HB 5122 authorizes the state to issue up to $2.5 million in bonds to fund technological and electrical upgrades at municipal firehouses. The bill directly affects local fire departments by providing them with state grants for infrastructure improvements. Funds will be distributed through the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, specifically for non-structural upgrades like modernizing electrical systems or adding safety technology to firehouse facilities. The bill does not change existing funding mechanisms but creates a new grant program for these specific upgrades.
