Bill Summary
This bill provides that a person who completed at least 12 months of active duty military service and has satisfactorily completed military firefighter training is eligible to receive Firefighter 1 certification. Under current law, a candidate for Firefighter 1 certification is required to meet the eligibility, training, and examination requirements established by the Division of Fire Safety in the Department of Community Affairs. Under the bill, a person who has not completed the training program requirements established by the division, but meets the other eligibility and examination requirements required for certification, is to receive a Firefighter 1 certificate if the person has completed at least 12 months of active duty military service and has satisfactorily completed military firefighter training during the period of active duty military service.
AI Summary
This bill allows individuals who have completed at least 12 months of active duty military service and satisfactorily completed military firefighter training to receive Firefighter 1 certification without having to complete the regular Firefighter 1 recruit training course required by the Division of Fire Safety in the Department of Community Affairs. The bill aims to provide an alternate path to Firefighter 1 certification for those with relevant military experience and training, instead of requiring them to go through the full civilian training program.
