Establishes grant programs for volunteer fire departments and rescue squads to purchase firefighting and rescue equipment.
This bill amends Tennessee law to create two grant programs: the volunteer firefighter equipment and training grant program and the rescue squad grant program. These programs will provide grants to volunteer fire departments and rescue squads for purchasing firefighting and rescue equipment. The grants are intended to be equally divided among the state's three grand divisions. The commissioner of commerce and insurance will establish guidelines for evaluating grant requests and deciding which departments and squads will receive grants.
