FISCAL ANALYSIS
ASSUMPTION
Officials from Department of Public Safety - Division of Fire Safety (DFS) state the proposed legislation contains several fire service-related issues. First, it defines "fire department", and specifies the annual reporting requirement for departments to register with the Division of Fire Safety. The legislation also further defines a volunteer fire protection association. These clear definitions are needed when departments apply for federal and state assistance, and will assist the Division in maintaining clear and accurate records for Missouri fire departments. The bill goes on to create the Volunteer Firefighter Job Protection Act which protects volunteers from being terminated for being late to their place of employment when they are on an emergency response.
DFS states that currently, they have 898 fire departments registered in Missouri. DFS estimate there to be roughly 25,000 fire fighters in the state, with approximately 80% of those being volunteers. DFS assumes the proposal will not fiscally impact their agency.
Officials from the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations assume the proposal will not fiscally impact their agency.
In response to a previous version of this proposal, officials from the Department of Health and Senior Services assume the proposal would not fiscally impact their proposal.
Officials from the cities of Cape Girardeau, Columbia, Jefferson City, Springfield and St. Charles did not respond to our request for fiscal impact. Officials from the Desoto Rural Fire Protection District, the Boone County Fire District and the Lake Saint Louis Fire District also did not respond to our request for fiscal impact.
