DESCRIPTION



Currently, immunity relating to donated personal fire equipment is limited to "used personal protection equipment" and "fire protection clothing". This proposal allows immunity for any donated fire equipment provided: 1) the State Fire Marshal approves the equipment; 2) any donated motor vehicle passes inspection; 3) the receiving agency demonstrates the equipment works properly; and 4) donor agencies inform receiving agencies of any defects.



This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program, and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
