Bill > HB126

This bill, known as the Abram Colin Act, requires fire-protection personnel and emergency medical services personnel in Alabama to complete annual training on interacting with individuals with sensory needs or invisible disabilities. The training must be provided by a nonprofit entity at no cost to the personnel. The bill mandates that the Alabama Firefighters' Personnel Standards and Education Commission and the Alabama Department of Public Health collaborate with these nonprofit entities to administer the training, which must be reviewed and updated annually. The training requirements do not apply to employees of the Alabama State Forestry Commission or modify any existing immunities for the personnel covered by the bill.
