What AB 1866 does, verified May 16, 2026
This bill aims to provide financial assistance to local agencies in California for disaster response activities. The director of emergency services will prioritize agencies that are not eligible for federal funding due to inability to meet minimum damage thresholds. The state share for eligible projects is limited to 75% of total state eligible costs, unless the local agency is located in a city or county with a local hazard mitigation plan. The bill also specifies which costs can be included in the local agency cost share.
