AI Summary
This bill requires school districts to award students high school graduation credits in health, safety, and physical education for completing a course at a county fire academy, provided the students are between 16 and 18 years old, complete an examination to become a junior firefighter or equivalent, and commit to volunteer at the fire department serving their municipality for two years. The bill specifies that this does not fulfill the requirement to become a member of the Junior Firefighter's Auxiliary, which is established under a separate law. The bill will take effect immediately and apply starting the first full school year after enactment.
