Bill overview
This bill aims to improve the safety and working conditions for firefighters in New Jersey by establishing the Fire Station Rehabilitation and Maintenance Code. It creates a dedicated fund for fire station improvements, equipment replacement, and firefighter training. The code mandates regular asbestos testing, HVAC upgrades, and potentially steam rooms in fire stations. Furthermore, it seeks funding through appropriations and a transfer from federal COVID-19 relief funds, and allows municipalities to impose fees to cover compliance costs.
