Summary
HB 5503 would re-establish the Emergency Preparedness and Response Fund within the Governor’s office, allowing the Governor to draw on the fund for natural, man‑made or technological emergencies that exceed normal budget allocations. The bill limits how the money can be spent, prohibits certain purchases, requires quarterly financial reports, and sets the fund to end on July 1, 2030. It failed to pass, but a companion Senate bill (SB 7040) was enacted.
