Bill > A03790

This bill amends the existing executive law to enhance reporting requirements for firefighter training activities. Currently, the Office of Fire Prevention and Control must submit an annual report to the governor and legislature detailing training hours by county. The proposed changes expand this reporting to include a statewide total of training hours allocated to each individual firefighter, with specific requirements to identify the fire department or district providing the training, the number of training hours, the type of training, and a list of firefighters qualified for interior firefighting. The bill also mandates that this detailed report be prominently posted on the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services website by March 1st each year. By requiring more comprehensive and transparent reporting, the bill aims to provide greater insight into firefighter training across the state, which could help improve emergency preparedness and training standards.
