Bill Summary
Under the bill, part-paid and volunteer fire departments would not be permitted to prohibit a volunteer firefighter who has five or more years of experience in fire suppression, firefighting, or fire rescue from engaging in these activities solely on the basis that the volunteer firefighter is uncertified or does not meet any requirement that is not imposed pursuant to statute, rule, or regulation.
AI Summary
This bill ensures that experienced volunteer firefighters, those with at least five years of experience in fire suppression, firefighting, or fire rescue, cannot be prevented from performing these duties by their fire department or force, whether it's part-paid (meaning firefighters receive some payment) or entirely volunteer, simply because they are not certified or do not meet requirements that are not mandated by law, rule, or regulation.
