Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to SB 231 clarifies how the Disaster Response and Recovery Fund can be utilized during emergencies. It specifies that funds can be used to cover expenses like paying emergency employees and obtaining necessary equipment but officially prohibits using this fund for private relief to individuals affected by disasters. This change is important because it ensures that funds are focused on broader emergency response efforts and public services, rather than individual compensation, thereby streamlining disaster recovery processes.
