Fiscal Note Summary


Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.


It appears to have no cost or revenue generated from the State; only within the counties that would establish and administer such a program. This could potential be a very positive step toward a county level recruitment and retention program that may have a positive effect on maintaining existing members and drawing a new generation of firefighters to every community involved in such a program.
