Modifying member appointment, compensation and meeting requirements of the Kansas fire service training commission.

SB 354 restructures the Kansas Fire Service Training Commission's membership by replacing its previous appointment process with a new system. It specifies 12 members: eight appointed by the governor based on nominations from fire service organizations (e.g., one for full-time firefighters, one for volunteer firefighters), plus the fire marshal, forest service representative, university liaison, and emergency medical services director. The bill requires the commission to meet quarterly, clarifies that non-state members receive mileage but no salary (with state employees compensated per existing rules), and repeals the prior commission structure. This directly affects fire service organizations, training institutions, and commission members by changing how they are selected and compensated.
