What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Technical College System Board may establish and

supervise training programs in fire prevention and protection, which must be made

available to members of volunteer and paid fire departments. Also under current

law, technical college district boards must make available to members of volunteer

and paid fire departments in the district a fire fighting training program approved

by the Technical College System Board. This bill requires the Technical College

System Board and the technical college district boards to include in provided

programs different course modules to account for different fire fighter focuses, and

to differentiate any provided fire fighting training program based on whether the

training is for volunteer fire fighting officers or paid, full-time fire fighting officers.
