Subject 2019 Legislative Summary Report

Dear Mr Chairman

Prior to the start of the 2019 legislative session of the Connecticut General Assembly a meeting of theFireEMS Caucus of legislators was held on December 12th 2018 Representatives Pat Boyd (0) and BenMcGorty (R) organized the meeting and co-chaired the bipartisan caucus for the long sessionRepresentative Michelle Cook (0) and Senator George Logan (R) were selected and announced as vice-chairs for their respective parties At this first meeting the CSFAlist of legislative priorities waspresented to the legislators on the FireEMS Caucus The list of legislative priorities were agreed uponby CSFAmember representatives who attended the associations Annual Legislative Meeting theprevious November By the end of the 2019 session three meetings of the FireEMS Caucus were heldand the group continued to report a membership of more than 40 partisan members Throughout thesession media recordings of these caucus meetings were available online to the public on theConnecticut Network (CT-N) website It should be noted that the internet links for the FireEMS Caucusmeetings received thousands of hits We believe this sodal media publicity had a positive impact on ourefforts this past year

The 2019 legislative long session began on January 9th and continued until June Stl During the session120 proposed bills related to public safety in the Connecticut House and Senate were tracked Thesebills either directly or indirectly influenced the Fire Service During this past session CSFAactivelypursued the following top legislative priorities

bull Continuation offunding through bonding for building Regional Fire Schoolsbull Continuation offunding of the operating budgets of the Regional Fire Schoolsbull Passage of the PTSOBill (SB 164)bull Block attempts to legalize consumer grade fireworks in Connecticut (SB 664)bull Block attempts to legalize mobile retail gasoline re-fueling in Connecticut (HB 7299 section 4)

By mid-April the broad list of tracked bills was reduced to include only bills that successfully passedJoint Favorably out of their respective legislative committees and the number of tracked bills wasreduced to 30 By the end of the session 11 of these proposed bills were passed into law

HB 5125 - AN ACT INCREASINGTHE PROPERTYTAX ABATEMENT FORCERTAIN FIRSTRESPONDERSTo increase the property tax abatement for certain first responders from onethousand dollars to one thousand five hundred dollars

HB 5455 - AN ACT CONCERNINGQUALIFIED FORESTFIREFIGHTERSTo allow the state forestfire warden to supplement existing staff resources with individuals who meet certain federalforest firefighter training and qualification requirements

HB 5575 - AN ACT CONCERNINGTHE SUSPENSIONOF DELINQUENCYPROCEEDINGSFOR FIRESTARTINGBEHAVIORTREATMENT To permit the court to suspend a delinquency proceeding forcertain fire-starting offenses and order a child to participate in a fire-starting behavior treatmentprogram

SB 380 - AN ACT CONCERNINGMENTAL HEALTH CAREAND WEllNESS TRAINING AND SUICIDEPREVENTIONFORPOLICEOFFICERSTo promote mental health and wellness training and suicideprevention for police officers in the state

SB 556 - AN ACT CONCERNINGADDITIONAL COMPENSATION FORCERTAIN RETIREDPUBLICSAFElY EMPLOYEESTo permit any municipality by a two-thirds vote of its legislative body toannually pay a retired public safety employee who suffered serious and permanent bodily injuryin the line of duty and who retired as a result thereof up to the age of sixty-five the differencebetween such employees disability pay and such employees regular rate of pay prior toretirement

SB 795 - AN ACT CONCERNINGTHE USEOF AUTOMATIC EXTERNALDEFIBRILLATORSToprotect physicians and other health care professionals who use automated externaldefibrillators in the scope of their practice or employment against civil liability when theautomatic external defibrillator malfunctions

SB 1082 - AN ACT CONCERNINGTHE CONSOLIDATION OF PUBLICSAFETYANSWERING POINTSTo require the Division of State-Wide Emergency Telecommunications to develop additionalincentives for the regionalization of public safety answering points and make recommendations

to the General Assembly for how to remove barriers to the consolidation of such answeringpoints

HB 7424 - Provided funding for the Middlesex Regional Fire School project

In addition to regularly meeting with the Joint Council throughout the session meetings were attendedwith the CSFAmembership the UPFFA the Connecticut Fire Chiefs the Career Chiefs the IrregularsConnecticut Fire Marshals and the Fire Department Instructors Reports on legislative news and progressfor the Fire Service were prepared and distributed to each of these groups Progress of legislative billsimpacting the Fire Service was submitted weekly for publication to the State Fire Administratorsinternet listserv and on our website The CSFAwebmaster continued to use social media such asFacebook and Twitter to communicate progress and news related to the bills that were trackedThroughout the session legislators were lobbied to keep the financial needs of the Fire Service indudedin all proposed budgets from the Appropriations Committee and from the members of GeneralAssembly

One of the most important successes of this past legislative session was the continued funding of theoperating budgets of the Regional Fire Schools Once again the FireEMS Caucus was an integral part ofeducating members of the General Assemblys House and Senate regarding the importance of fundingthe necessary Fire Service education for recruits as well as the required continuing education for bothveteran and career firefighters

Additionally the passage of SB 164 The PTSDBill was a tremendous victory for both volunteer andcareer firefighters and also for fire-based EMS first responders Next year we hope that the mentalhealth coverage that this law now provides will be expanded to include all EMS first responders inConnecticut

It should also be noted that for the second year in a row a bill that attempted to legalize dangerousconsumer grade fireworks in Connecticut (SB 664) was successfully blocked from passage intolegislation Also the proposed legislation that would have legalized mobile retail gasoline sales inConnecticut (HB 7299 section 4) was successfully blocked Once again the effort to keep these bfllsfrom becoming law were excellent examples of successful cooperation between multiple Fire Serviceorganizations in Connecticut with the goal of keeping life limb and property safe in our state

I would like to thank the leadership of the Connecticut Fire Service organizations that supported theefforts that successfully represented the Connecticut State Firefighters Association this past year

Respectfully submitted

Subject 2019 Legislative Summary Report

Dear Mr Chairman

Prior to the start of the 2019 legislative session of the Connecticut General Assembly a meeting of theFireEMS Caucus of legislators was held on December 12th 2018 Representatives Pat Boyd (0) and BenMcGorty (R) organized the meeting and co-chaired the bipartisan caucus for the long sessionRepresentative Michelle Cook (0) and Senator George Logan (R) were selected and announced as vice-chairs for their respective parties At this first meeting the CSFAlist of legislative priorities waspresented to the legislators on the FireEMS Caucus The list of legislative priorities were agreed uponby CSFAmember representatives who attended the associations Annual Legislative Meeting theprevious November By the end of the 2019 session three meetings of the FireEMS Caucus were heldand the group continued to report a membership of more than 40 partisan members Throughout thesession media recordings of these caucus meetings were available online to the public on theConnecticut Network (CT-N) website It should be noted that the internet links for the FireEMS Caucusmeetings received thousands of hits We believe this sodal media publicity had a positive impact on ourefforts this past year

The 2019 legislative long session began on January 9th and continued until June Stl During the session120 proposed bills related to public safety in the Connecticut House and Senate were tracked Thesebills either directly or indirectly influenced the Fire Service During this past session CSFAactivelypursued the following top legislative priorities

bull Continuation offunding through bonding for building Regional Fire Schoolsbull Continuation offunding of the operating budgets of the Regional Fire Schoolsbull Passage of the PTSOBill (SB 164)bull Block attempts to legalize consumer grade fireworks in Connecticut (SB 664)bull Block attempts to legalize mobile retail gasoline re-fueling in Connecticut (HB 7299 section 4)

By mid-April the broad list of tracked bills was reduced to include only bills that successfully passedJoint Favorably out of their respective legislative committees and the number of tracked bills wasreduced to 30 By the end of the session 11 of these proposed bills were passed into law

HB 5125 - AN ACT INCREASINGTHE PROPERTYTAX ABATEMENT FORCERTAIN FIRSTRESPONDERSTo increase the property tax abatement for certain first responders from onethousand dollars to one thousand five hundred dollars

HB 5455 - AN ACT CONCERNINGQUALIFIED FORESTFIREFIGHTERSTo allow the state forestfire warden to supplement existing staff resources with individuals who meet certain federalforest firefighter training and qualification requirements

HB 5575 - AN ACT CONCERNINGTHE SUSPENSIONOF DELINQUENCYPROCEEDINGSFOR FIRESTARTINGBEHAVIORTREATMENT To permit the court to suspend a delinquency proceeding forcertain fire-starting offenses and order a child to participate in a fire-starting behavior treatmentprogram

SB 380 - AN ACT CONCERNINGMENTAL HEALTH CAREAND WEllNESS TRAINING AND SUICIDEPREVENTIONFORPOLICEOFFICERSTo promote mental health and wellness training and suicideprevention for police officers in the state

SB 556 - AN ACT CONCERNINGADDITIONAL COMPENSATION FORCERTAIN RETIREDPUBLICSAFElY EMPLOYEESTo permit any municipality by a two-thirds vote of its legislative body toannually pay a retired public safety employee who suffered serious and permanent bodily injuryin the line of duty and who retired as a result thereof up to the age of sixty-five the differencebetween such employees disability pay and such employees regular rate of pay prior toretirement

SB 795 - AN ACT CONCERNINGTHE USEOF AUTOMATIC EXTERNALDEFIBRILLATORSToprotect physicians and other health care professionals who use automated externaldefibrillators in the scope of their practice or employment against civil liability when theautomatic external defibrillator malfunctions

SB 1082 - AN ACT CONCERNINGTHE CONSOLIDATION OF PUBLICSAFETYANSWERING POINTSTo require the Division of State-Wide Emergency Telecommunications to develop additionalincentives for the regionalization of public safety answering points and make recommendations

to the General Assembly for how to remove barriers to the consolidation of such answeringpoints

HB 7424 - Provided funding for the Middlesex Regional Fire School project

In addition to regularly meeting with the Joint Council throughout the session meetings were attendedwith the CSFAmembership the UPFFA the Connecticut Fire Chiefs the Career Chiefs the IrregularsConnecticut Fire Marshals and the Fire Department Instructors Reports on legislative news and progressfor the Fire Service were prepared and distributed to each of these groups Progress of legislative billsimpacting the Fire Service was submitted weekly for publication to the State Fire Administratorsinternet listserv and on our website The CSFAwebmaster continued to use social media such asFacebook and Twitter to communicate progress and news related to the bills that were trackedThroughout the session legislators were lobbied to keep the financial needs of the Fire Service indudedin all proposed budgets from the Appropriations Committee and from the members of GeneralAssembly

One of the most important successes of this past legislative session was the continued funding of theoperating budgets of the Regional Fire Schools Once again the FireEMS Caucus was an integral part ofeducating members of the General Assemblys House and Senate regarding the importance of fundingthe necessary Fire Service education for recruits as well as the required continuing education for bothveteran and career firefighters

Additionally the passage of SB 164 The PTSDBill was a tremendous victory for both volunteer andcareer firefighters and also for fire-based EMS first responders Next year we hope that the mentalhealth coverage that this law now provides will be expanded to include all EMS first responders inConnecticut

It should also be noted that for the second year in a row a bill that attempted to legalize dangerousconsumer grade fireworks in Connecticut (SB 664) was successfully blocked from passage intolegislation Also the proposed legislation that would have legalized mobile retail gasoline sales inConnecticut (HB 7299 section 4) was successfully blocked Once again the effort to keep these bfllsfrom becoming law were excellent examples of successful cooperation between multiple Fire Serviceorganizations in Connecticut with the goal of keeping life limb and property safe in our state

I would like to thank the leadership of the Connecticut Fire Service organizations that supported theefforts that successfully represented the Connecticut State Firefighters Association this past year

Respectfully submitted

One of the most important successes of this past legislative session was the continued funding of theoperating budgets of the Regional Fire Schools Once again the FireEMS Caucus was an integral part ofeducating members of the General Assemblys House and Senate regarding the importance of fundingthe necessary Fire Service education for recruits as well as the required continuing education for bothveteran and career firefighters

Additionally the passage of SB 164 The PTSDBill was a tremendous victory for both volunteer andcareer firefighters and also for fire-based EMS first responders Next year we hope that the mentalhealth coverage that this law now provides will be expanded to include all EMS first responders inConnecticut

It should also be noted that for the second year in a row a bill that attempted to legalize dangerousconsumer grade fireworks in Connecticut (SB 664) was successfully blocked from passage intolegislation Also the proposed legislation that would have legalized mobile retail gasoline sales inConnecticut (HB 7299 section 4) was successfully blocked Once again the effort to keep these bfllsfrom becoming law were excellent examples of successful cooperation between multiple Fire Serviceorganizations in Connecticut with the goal of keeping life limb and property safe in our state

I would like to thank the leadership of the Connecticut Fire Service organizations that supported theefforts that successfully represented the Connecticut State Firefighters Association this past year

In addition to regularly meeting with the Joint Council throughout the session meetings were attendedwith the CSFAmembership the UPFFA the Connecticut Fire Chiefs the Career Chiefs the IrregularsConnecticut Fire Marshals and the Fire Department Instructors Reports on legislative news and progressfor the Fire Service were prepared and distributed to each of these groups Progress of legislative billsimpacting the Fire Service was submitted weekly for publication to the State Fire Administratorsinternet listserv and on our website The CSFAwebmaster continued to use social media such asFacebook and Twitter to communicate progress and news related to the bills that were trackedThroughout the session legislators were lobbied to keep the financial needs of the Fire Service indudedin all proposed budgets from the Appropriations Committee and from the members of GeneralAssembly

One of the most important successes of this past legislative session was the continued funding of theoperating budgets of the Regional Fire Schools Once again the FireEMS Caucus was an integral part ofeducating members of the General Assemblys House and Senate regarding the importance of fundingthe necessary Fire Service education for recruits as well as the required continuing education for bothveteran and career firefighters

Additionally the passage of SB 164 The PTSDBill was a tremendous victory for both volunteer andcareer firefighters and also for fire-based EMS first responders Next year we hope that the mentalhealth coverage that this law now provides will be expanded to include all EMS first responders inConnecticut

It should also be noted that for the second year in a row a bill that attempted to legalize dangerousconsumer grade fireworks in Connecticut (SB 664) was successfully blocked from passage intolegislation Also the proposed legislation that would have legalized mobile retail gasoline sales inConnecticut (HB 7299 section 4) was successfully blocked Once again the effort to keep these bfllsfrom becoming law were excellent examples of successful cooperation between multiple Fire Serviceorganizations in Connecticut with the goal of keeping life limb and property safe in our state

I would like to thank the leadership of the Connecticut Fire Service organizations that supported theefforts that successfully represented the Connecticut State Firefighters Association this past year

Subject 2019 Legislative Summary Report

Dear Mr Chairman

Prior to the start of the 2019 legislative session of the Connecticut General Assembly a meeting of theFireEMS Caucus of legislators was held on December 12th 2018 Representatives Pat Boyd (0) and BenMcGorty (R) organized the meeting and co-chaired the bipartisan caucus for the long sessionRepresentative Michelle Cook (0) and Senator George Logan (R) were selected and announced as vice-chairs for their respective parties At this first meeting the CSFAlist of legislative priorities waspresented to the legislators on the FireEMS Caucus The list of legislative priorities were agreed uponby CSFAmember representatives who attended the associations Annual Legislative Meeting theprevious November By the end of the 2019 session three meetings of the FireEMS Caucus were heldand the group continued to report a membership of more than 40 partisan members Throughout thesession media recordings of these caucus meetings were available online to the public on theConnecticut Network (CT-N) website It should be noted that the internet links for the FireEMS Caucusmeetings received thousands of hits We believe this sodal media publicity had a positive impact on ourefforts this past year

Additionally the passage of SB 164 The PTSDBill was a tremendous victory for both volunteer andcareer firefighters and also for fire-based EMS first responders Next year we hope that the mentalhealth coverage that this law now provides will be expanded to include all EMS first responders inConnecticut

It should also be noted that for the second year in a row a bill that attempted to legalize dangerousconsumer grade fireworks in Connecticut (SB 664) was successfully blocked from passage intolegislation Also the proposed legislation that would have legalized mobile retail gasoline sales inConnecticut (HB 7299 section 4) was successfully blocked Once again the effort to keep these bfllsfrom becoming law were excellent examples of successful cooperation between multiple Fire Serviceorganizations in Connecticut with the goal of keeping life limb and property safe in our state

I would like to thank the leadership of the Connecticut Fire Service organizations that supported theefforts that successfully represented the Connecticut State Firefighters Association this past year

In addition to regularly meeting with the Joint Council throughout the session meetings were attendedwith the CSFAmembership the UPFFA the Connecticut Fire Chiefs the Career Chiefs the IrregularsConnecticut Fire Marshals and the Fire Department Instructors Reports on legislative news and progressfor the Fire Service were prepared and distributed to each of these groups Progress of legislative billsimpacting the Fire Service was submitted weekly for publication to the State Fire Administratorsinternet listserv and on our website The CSFAwebmaster continued to use social media such asFacebook and Twitter to communicate progress and news related to the bills that were trackedThroughout the session legislators were lobbied to keep the financial needs of the Fire Service indudedin all proposed budgets from the Appropriations Committee and from the members of GeneralAssembly

One of the most important successes of this past legislative session was the continued funding of theoperating budgets of the Regional Fire Schools Once again the FireEMS Caucus was an integral part ofeducating members of the General Assemblys House and Senate regarding the importance of fundingthe necessary Fire Service education for recruits as well as the required continuing education for bothveteran and career firefighters

Additionally the passage of SB 164 The PTSDBill was a tremendous victory for both volunteer andcareer firefighters and also for fire-based EMS first responders Next year we hope that the mentalhealth coverage that this law now provides will be expanded to include all EMS first responders inConnecticut

It should also be noted that for the second year in a row a bill that attempted to legalize dangerousconsumer grade fireworks in Connecticut (SB 664) was successfully blocked from passage intolegislation Also the proposed legislation that would have legalized mobile retail gasoline sales inConnecticut (HB 7299 section 4) was successfully blocked Once again the effort to keep these bfllsfrom becoming law were excellent examples of successful cooperation between multiple Fire Serviceorganizations in Connecticut with the goal of keeping life limb and property safe in our state

I would like to thank the leadership of the Connecticut Fire Service organizations that supported theefforts that successfully represented the Connecticut State Firefighters Association this past year

Subject 2019 Legislative Summary Report

Dear Mr Chairman

Prior to the start of the 2019 legislative session of the Connecticut General Assembly a meeting of theFireEMS Caucus of legislators was held on December 12th 2018 Representatives Pat Boyd (0) and BenMcGorty (R) organized the meeting and co-chaired the bipartisan caucus for the long sessionRepresentative Michelle Cook (0) and Senator George Logan (R) were selected and announced as vice-chairs for their respective parties At this first meeting the CSFAlist of legislative priorities waspresented to the legislators on the FireEMS Caucus The list of legislative priorities were agreed uponby CSFAmember representatives who attended the associations Annual Legislative Meeting theprevious November By the end of the 2019 session three meetings of the FireEMS Caucus were heldand the group continued to report a membership of more than 40 partisan members Throughout thesession media recordings of these caucus meetings were available online to the public on theConnecticut Network (CT-N) website It should be noted that the internet links for the FireEMS Caucusmeetings received thousands of hits We believe this sodal media publicity had a positive impact on ourefforts this past year

The 2019 legislative long session began on January 9th and continued until June Stl During the session120 proposed bills related to public safety in the Connecticut House and Senate were tracked Thesebills either directly or indirectly influenced the Fire Service During this past session CSFAactivelypursued the following top legislative priorities

bull Continuation offunding through bonding for building Regional Fire Schoolsbull Continuation offunding of the operating budgets of the Regional Fire Schoolsbull Passage of the PTSOBill (SB 164)bull Block attempts to legalize consumer grade fireworks in Connecticut (SB 664)bull Block attempts to legalize mobile retail gasoline re-fueling in Connecticut (HB 7299 section 4)

By mid-April the broad list of tracked bills was reduced to include only bills that successfully passedJoint Favorably out of their respective legislative committees and the number of tracked bills wasreduced to 30 By the end of the session 11 of these proposed bills were passed into law

HB 5125 - AN ACT INCREASINGTHE PROPERTYTAX ABATEMENT FORCERTAIN FIRSTRESPONDERSTo increase the property tax abatement for certain first responders from onethousand dollars to one thousand five hundred dollars

HB 5455 - AN ACT CONCERNINGQUALIFIED FORESTFIREFIGHTERSTo allow the state forestfire warden to supplement existing staff resources with individuals who meet certain federalforest firefighter training and qualification requirements

HB 5575 - AN ACT CONCERNINGTHE SUSPENSIONOF DELINQUENCYPROCEEDINGSFOR FIRESTARTINGBEHAVIORTREATMENT To permit the court to suspend a delinquency proceeding forcertain fire-starting offenses and order a child to participate in a fire-starting behavior treatmentprogram

HB 6146 - AN ACT CONCERNINGTHE EXPANSIONOF CERTIFICATIONCOURSESINCARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATIONAND EDUCATIONAND TRAINING COURSESIN THE USEOFAUTOMATIC EXTERNALDEFIBRilLATORSAND THE ADMINISTRATION OF FIRSTAID To expandcertification courses in cardiopulmonary resuscitation for lifeguards and education and trainingcourses in the use of automatic external defibrillators and the administration of first aid

HB 7229 - AN ACT CONCERNINGFIRESPRINKLERSYSTEMSIN RENTALUNITSTo modify existingrequirements for landlords to provide notice of fire suppression systems to tenants

HB 7394 - AN ACT CONCERNINGTHE PROTECTIONOF CONFIDENTIALCOMMUNICATIONSBETWEENA FIRSTRESPONDERAND A PEERSUPPORTTEAM MEMBER To ensure theconfidentiality of certain communications that take place between a first responder and a peersupport team member

SB 380 - AN ACT CONCERNINGMENTAL HEALTH CAREAND WEllNESS TRAINING AND SUICIDEPREVENTIONFORPOLICEOFFICERSTo promote mental health and wellness training and suicideprevention for police officers in the state

SB 556 - AN ACT CONCERNINGADDITIONAL COMPENSATION FORCERTAIN RETIREDPUBLICSAFElY EMPLOYEESTo permit any municipality by a two-thirds vote of its legislative body toannually pay a retired public safety employee who suffered serious and permanent bodily injuryin the line of duty and who retired as a result thereof up to the age of sixty-five the differencebetween such employees disability pay and such employees regular rate of pay prior toretirement

SB 795 - AN ACT CONCERNINGTHE USEOF AUTOMATIC EXTERNALDEFIBRILLATORSToprotect physicians and other health care professionals who use automated externaldefibrillators in the scope of their practice or employment against civil liability when theautomatic external defibrillator malfunctions

SB 1082 - AN ACT CONCERNINGTHE CONSOLIDATION OF PUBLICSAFETYANSWERING POINTSTo require the Division of State-Wide Emergency Telecommunications to develop additionalincentives for the regionalization of public safety answering points and make recommendations

to the General Assembly for how to remove barriers to the consolidation of such answeringpoints

HB 7424 - Provided funding for the Middlesex Regional Fire School project

In addition to regularly meeting with the Joint Council throughout the session meetings were attendedwith the CSFAmembership the UPFFA the Connecticut Fire Chiefs the Career Chiefs the IrregularsConnecticut Fire Marshals and the Fire Department Instructors Reports on legislative news and progressfor the Fire Service were prepared and distributed to each of these groups Progress of legislative billsimpacting the Fire Service was submitted weekly for publication to the State Fire Administratorsinternet listserv and on our website The CSFAwebmaster continued to use social media such asFacebook and Twitter to communicate progress and news related to the bills that were trackedThroughout the session legislators were lobbied to keep the financial needs of the Fire Service indudedin all proposed budgets from the Appropriations Committee and from the members of GeneralAssembly

One of the most important successes of this past legislative session was the continued funding of theoperating budgets of the Regional Fire Schools Once again the FireEMS Caucus was an integral part ofeducating members of the General Assemblys House and Senate regarding the importance of fundingthe necessary Fire Service education for recruits as well as the required continuing education for bothveteran and career firefighters

Additionally the passage of SB 164 The PTSDBill was a tremendous victory for both volunteer andcareer firefighters and also for fire-based EMS first responders Next year we hope that the mentalhealth coverage that this law now provides will be expanded to include all EMS first responders inConnecticut

It should also be noted that for the second year in a row a bill that attempted to legalize dangerousconsumer grade fireworks in Connecticut (SB 664) was successfully blocked from passage intolegislation Also the proposed legislation that would have legalized mobile retail gasoline sales inConnecticut (HB 7299 section 4) was successfully blocked Once again the effort to keep these bfllsfrom becoming law were excellent examples of successful cooperation between multiple Fire Serviceorganizations in Connecticut with the goal of keeping life limb and property safe in our state

I would like to thank the leadership of the Connecticut Fire Service organizations that supported theefforts that successfully represented the Connecticut State Firefighters Association this past year

Respectfully submitted

The 2019 legislative long session began on January 9th and continued until June Stl During the session120 proposed bills related to public safety in the Connecticut House and Senate were tracked Thesebills either directly or indirectly influenced the Fire Service During this past session CSFAactivelypursued the following top legislative priorities

In addition to regularly meeting with the Joint Council throughout the session meetings were attendedwith the CSFAmembership the UPFFA the Connecticut Fire Chiefs the Career Chiefs the IrregularsConnecticut Fire Marshals and the Fire Department Instructors Reports on legislative news and progressfor the Fire Service were prepared and distributed to each of these groups Progress of legislative billsimpacting the Fire Service was submitted weekly for publication to the State Fire Administratorsinternet listserv and on our website The CSFAwebmaster continued to use social media such asFacebook and Twitter to communicate progress and news related to the bills that were trackedThroughout the session legislators were lobbied to keep the financial needs of the Fire Service indudedin all proposed budgets from the Appropriations Committee and from the members of GeneralAssembly

One of the most important successes of this past legislative session was the continued funding of theoperating budgets of the Regional Fire Schools Once again the FireEMS Caucus was an integral part ofeducating members of the General Assemblys House and Senate regarding the importance of fundingthe necessary Fire Service education for recruits as well as the required continuing education for bothveteran and career firefighters

Additionally the passage of SB 164 The PTSDBill was a tremendous victory for both volunteer andcareer firefighters and also for fire-based EMS first responders Next year we hope that the mentalhealth coverage that this law now provides will be expanded to include all EMS first responders inConnecticut

It should also be noted that for the second year in a row a bill that attempted to legalize dangerousconsumer grade fireworks in Connecticut (SB 664) was successfully blocked from passage intolegislation Also the proposed legislation that would have legalized mobile retail gasoline sales inConnecticut (HB 7299 section 4) was successfully blocked Once again the effort to keep these bfllsfrom becoming law were excellent examples of successful cooperation between multiple Fire Serviceorganizations in Connecticut with the goal of keeping life limb and property safe in our state

I would like to thank the leadership of the Connecticut Fire Service organizations that supported theefforts that successfully represented the Connecticut State Firefighters Association this past year

to the General Assembly for how to remove barriers to the consolidation of such answeringpoints

HB 7424 - Provided funding for the Middlesex Regional Fire School project

In addition to regularly meeting with the Joint Council throughout the session meetings were attendedwith the CSFAmembership the UPFFA the Connecticut Fire Chiefs the Career Chiefs the IrregularsConnecticut Fire Marshals and the Fire Department Instructors Reports on legislative news and progressfor the Fire Service were prepared and distributed to each of these groups Progress of legislative billsimpacting the Fire Service was submitted weekly for publication to the State Fire Administratorsinternet listserv and on our website The CSFAwebmaster continued to use social media such asFacebook and Twitter to communicate progress and news related to the bills that were trackedThroughout the session legislators were lobbied to keep the financial needs of the Fire Service indudedin all proposed budgets from the Appropriations Committee and from the members of GeneralAssembly

One of the most important successes of this past legislative session was the continued funding of theoperating budgets of the Regional Fire Schools Once again the FireEMS Caucus was an integral part ofeducating members of the General Assemblys House and Senate regarding the importance of fundingthe necessary Fire Service education for recruits as well as the required continuing education for bothveteran and career firefighters

Additionally the passage of SB 164 The PTSDBill was a tremendous victory for both volunteer andcareer firefighters and also for fire-based EMS first responders Next year we hope that the mentalhealth coverage that this law now provides will be expanded to include all EMS first responders inConnecticut

It should also be noted that for the second year in a row a bill that attempted to legalize dangerousconsumer grade fireworks in Connecticut (SB 664) was successfully blocked from passage intolegislation Also the proposed legislation that would have legalized mobile retail gasoline sales inConnecticut (HB 7299 section 4) was successfully blocked Once again the effort to keep these bfllsfrom becoming law were excellent examples of successful cooperation between multiple Fire Serviceorganizations in Connecticut with the goal of keeping life limb and property safe in our state

I would like to thank the leadership of the Connecticut Fire Service organizations that supported theefforts that successfully represented the Connecticut State Firefighters Association this past year

Respectfully submitted
