Bill Summary
Under current law, a firefighter is required to join the fire service between the ages of 18 and 45 in order to be eligible for an exempt fireman certificate. Exempt fireman certificates are issued to eligible firefighters who have responded to at least 60 percent of their department's fire duty calls over a seven-year period. This bill would increase, from 45 to 60, the age by which a firefighter is required to join the fire service to establish eligibility for the New Jersey State Firemen's Association and for an exempt fireman certificate.
