Firefighter clothing allowance; Rural Volunteer Firefighter Clothing Allowance Grants Act; Revolving Fund; State Board of Agriculture; effective date.
HB 1078 creates a state-funded clothing allowance program for Oklahoma's rural volunteer firefighters. It establishes a revolving fund managed by the State Board of Agriculture to provide grants covering costs for approved firefighting gear and equipment. To qualify, firefighters must belong to a certified fire department, respond to at least 75% of calls, complete 24 hours of training annually, and submit applications through their fire chief by July 31. The program aims to support volunteer retention and safety by reimbursing departments for qualifying expenses, with funds distributed by September 30 each year.
