Hazard mitigation grant program establishment to support mitigation planning and mitigation projects that diminish potential effects of emergencies

Summary

The bill creates a Hazard Mitigation Fund in the special revenue fund, administered by the commissioner, to award grants and technical assistance to counties, cities, school districts and other local units for hazard mitigation planning and cost‑effective projects. Applicants must contribute at least 25 % of project costs, though donated materials and labor can count toward that share. The program can also serve as the non‑federal match for federal FEMA mitigation programs.
