Bill > HB4585

This bill modifies the eligibility requirements for volunteer firefighters to claim a tax credit by reducing the minimum participation requirement from 30 percent to 10 percent of volunteer fire department activities during the year, while still requiring active membership in good standing for the entire year and meeting all state certification and training standards. The bill also specifies that the certification from the fire department chief must include the volunteer's rank, years of service, number of emergency responses, and number of meetings or training sessions attended, and this certification must be submitted to the Tax Commissioner to claim the credit.
