What’s in it

AI summary Local emergency management commissions usually decide how to fund their agencies, but this change adds a new rule for certain taxes. If the funding comes from a special countywide levy, the county board of supervisors must approve it first. This rule applies to agency budgets starting in the 2024 fiscal year.1
