Bill > S02703

This bill amends the executive law to enhance reporting requirements for firefighter training in New York State. Specifically, the bill expands the existing annual report that the Office of Fire Prevention and Control must submit to the governor and legislature by February 15th each year. The expanded report will now include a statewide total of training hours allocated to each individual firefighter, along with details about which fire department or district provided the training, including the number of hours and type of training. Additionally, the report must list the names of firefighters qualified to perform interior firefighting. The bill also mandates that this detailed report be prominently posted on the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services website no later than March 1st of each year. This increased transparency aims to provide more comprehensive insight into firefighter training across New York State, helping policymakers and the public better understand the training resources and qualifications of local firefighting personnel.
