Bill Summary
Sunset Process - House Transportation, Housing, and Local Government Committee. The bill implements the recommendations of the department of regulatory agencies in its 2025 sunset review and report. Sections 1 and 2 of the bill continue the fire suppression programs of the division of fire prevention and control for 11 years until 2037 (recommendation 1). Sections 3 through 5 modify certain provisions of the fire suppression programs of the division of fire prevention and control to replace gender-specific terminology with gender-neutral terminology (recommendation 2).
AI Summary
This bill extends the sunset date for the fire suppression programs administered by the division of fire prevention and control, meaning these programs will continue to operate for an additional 11 years, until September 1, 2037, instead of expiring in 2026. Additionally, the bill updates the language within these programs to be gender-neutral, replacing terms like "he" and "his" with gender-neutral alternatives such as "they" and "their," ensuring inclusivity in official documentation and procedures. These changes align with recommendations from a government review of regulatory agencies.
