Washington HB2237 aims to ensure deputy state fire marshals' salaries are competitive with local firefighting agencies.

Washington HB2237 mandates that deputy state fire marshals' salaries be competitive with local firefighting agencies. The Office of Financial Management must conduct a salary survey every four years, comparing deputy state fire marshals' compensation to that of local agencies. The survey must consider base salary, premium pay, education pay, and longevity pay. The bill also requires the State Fire Service Policy Board to examine the benefits and issues of an independent state fire marshal office. The board must report to the legislature by December 1, 2026.
