MINOR

This bill updates the legal citation to reflect the 2025 session and modernizes the language regarding volunteer firefighter membership. The primary change removes gender-specific terms like 'he or she' and replaces them with gender-neutral language such as 'such member' and 'their.' It also corrects a typo in the name of one specific fire department from 'Hope-well' to 'Hopewell.'

Scope change

The bill's scope remains focused on amending the not-for-profit corporation law regarding volunteer fire departments, but the applicability is broadened by removing gender restrictions from membership rules.

REQUIREMENT

Replaced gender-specific pronouns (he/she) with gender-neutral language (such member/their) throughout the membership termination and election sections.

TECHNICAL

Corrected the name of the Hopewell Volunteer Fire Department from 'Hope-well' to 'Hopewell' in the list of exempted organizations.

Updated the legislative chapter and year references from 2024/chapter 354 to 2025/chapter 369 to reflect the current session.
