Call to Action: Letters Needed in Support of SB 577 (Hurtado)

CalChiefs is requesting members provide letters of support on SB 577 (Hurtado). SB 577 will allow the State Fire Marshal to accept additional funding sources for the California Fire Service Training and Education Program. The bill will make the same change relative to the California Fire and Arson Training Act. By permitting the State Fire Marshall to receive additional funding for training programs this bill will help to mitigate rising fees for those seeking fire training certification. Please see fact sheet for additional information. SB 577 is set to be heard in the Senate Appropriations Committee on April 10, 2023.

Please use this template letter in support of SB 577 provided. Please send a copy to Harrison Pardini at Harrison.Pardini@sen.ca.gov and Cal Chiefs staff at cberry@calchiefs.org.

Letters must be submitted by April 5, 2023!
