Bill Summary
For legislation to establish a municipal bulk purchasing program for industrial washing machines for fire departments. Public Service.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a municipal bulk purchasing program for industrial washing machines for fire departments in Massachusetts. The program is administered by the state fire marshal and funded through a dedicated trust fund. The fund consists of payments from participating municipalities and fire districts, as well as other revenue sources, which are used to provide price reductions and grants to help these entities purchase the industrial washing machines. The bill aims to address the high cancer rates among firefighters by ensuring their turnout gear is properly cleaned, as toxic chemicals can be absorbed through the skin if not washed immediately.
