Purpose and Intent (as indicated by the bill’s title)

The bill appears to seek a short-term change to how resources are aligned within the Safety Cluster and to clarify roles, responsibilities, or governance related to those resources.

Scheduling, coordination, or governance procedures to improve interagency collaboration.
Sunset or temporary-implementation conditions for the amendments.
