Opponents of SB5527 express concerns about the proposed measure, citing historical experiences where emergency clauses have led to increased costs for taxpayers. They emphasize the need for emergency preparedness and response capabilities, arguing that eliminating emergency funding would have severe consequences for vulnerable populations, including those who rely on these services. By using an emergency clause, opponents fear that taxpayers will ultimately bear the burden of unforeseen expenses.
