Bill > S1634

This bill increases the maximum eligibility age for exempt fireman certificates and membership in the New Jersey State Firemen's Association from 45 to 60 years old. Currently, firefighters must join the fire service between the ages of 18 and 45 to be eligible for an exempt fireman certificate, which is issued to those who have responded to at least 60% of their department's fire duty calls over a seven-year period. This bill extends the eligibility age to 60, allowing firefighters to join the service up to that age and still qualify for the certificate and association membership.
