Bill Caption
Relating to volunteer firefighter supervision of outdoor burning of waste consisting of plant growth.
Fiscal Notes
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
Under current law, a person is allowed to burn certain waste such as as brush pile, leaves, or tree trimmings if an employee of a fire department, who is part of the fire protection personnel, is present and supervising the action. HB 2386 would allow volunteer firefighters acting in the scope of the firefighter's volunteer duties to also be an acceptable supervisor of the occasion.
Vote Recommendation Notes
HB 2386 does not appear to have a connection to our liberty principles, therefore we remain neutral.
