Exempts experienced volunteer firefighters from certain requirements.

This bill (A1103) exempts volunteer firefighters with five or more years of experience in fire suppression, firefighting, or fire rescue from being barred by fire departments solely due to lacking certification or not meeting non-statutory requirements. It directly affects experienced volunteer firefighters in New Jersey, ensuring they can continue active duty without exclusion based on uncertification. The key provision requires fire departments (both part-paid and volunteer) to allow these veterans to engage in frontline duties if they meet the experience threshold, regardless of unmet non-legal requirements. The law takes immediate effect upon enactment.
