Bill > S3925

This bill establishes the "Volunteer Fire Company Assistance Program" in the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to support the operations and sustainability of volunteer fire companies. The bill appropriates $10 million to the Volunteer Fire Company Assistance Program Fund, which the DCA director will use to administer a grant program that distributes funds to volunteer fire companies for the purchase of emergency equipment and other expenses to ensure ongoing operations and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The bill requires grant recipients to submit reports on the use of funds, and the DCA to compile and publish a comparative profile of the participating fire companies, as well as provide a report to the Governor and Legislature on the implementation of the program.
