MODERATE

The bill was amended to replace a general provision about interest on emergency funds with a specific mandate to create and maintain a separate 'Federal Aid Disaster Fund Trust Fund.' This change ensures that federal disaster aid and the interest earned on it are kept distinct from other state funds and used strictly for federal-approved emergency management purposes.

Scope change

The bill's scope narrowed from a general rule applying to all state emergency agency funds to a specific requirement for a new federal trust fund.

FISCAL

Established a new 'Federal Aid Disaster Fund Trust Fund' that must be held separately from all other public state funds.

Replaced the previous general rule about interest on all emergency funds with a specific rule requiring interest earned on the new Federal Aid Disaster Fund to be deposited back into that same fund.

ADDED

Authorized the agency to deposit federal disaster aid directly into this new trust fund.

Clarified that the agency can only spend money from this specific fund for purposes allowed by the terms of the federal awards that generated it.
