HB 2759 creates the "Oklahoma Volunteer Firefighter Support Program" to provide grants for volunteer firefighters' training. It allows eligible volunteers to receive up to 10 hours of annual training per year from programs approved by the State Fire Marshall or Oklahoma Department of Agriculture's Forestry Division. The bill establishes a revolving fund in the State Treasury, funded by appropriations and donations, to cover grant costs and managed by the State Fire Marshall. The program requires an application system for firefighters to access training support, with the bill taking effect November 1, 2025.
