Bill > HB1067

This bill modifies the law concerning residency requirements for certain firefighters. It allows municipalities and fire protection districts to establish residency requirements for firefighters, but only under specific conditions, such as when the fire department uses a mix of full-time, paid, and volunteer firefighters. The bill also allows these entities to give hiring preference to applicants who are residents of the state or an adjacent county. Importantly, the bill states that any new residency requirements will not affect the employment or residency status of existing firefighters.
