Requires Firefighter 1 certification of candidate who completes military firefighter training and at least 12 months active duty military service in lieu of training course requirements.

This bill allows veterans to earn Firefighter 1 certification without completing the standard training course if they have 12+ months of active military service and completed military firefighter training. It directly affects veterans transitioning from military firefighting roles to civilian fire departments in New Jersey. The law waives the mandatory training course requirement while maintaining all other eligibility and examination standards set by the Division of Fire Safety. This provides a streamlined pathway for qualified military firefighters to obtain certification without repeating civilian training.
