Relating to the Rural Volunteer Fire Department Assistance Program and authorizing an increase in the assessment on certain insurers that fund the program.

HB 2054 authorizes an increase in fees paid by certain property insurers to fund the Rural Volunteer Fire Department Assistance Program. This would boost the program's budget by raising the assessment on insurers who sell property insurance in the state. The change directly affects rural fire departments that rely on this funding and the insurers required to pay the higher fee. The bill aims to strengthen support for volunteer fire services in rural communities through additional dedicated funding.
