Providing equal share of funds from the fire and casualty premium tax to part volunteer departments

This bill amends West Virginia law to ensure all eligible part-volunteer fire departments receive an equal share of funds from the 1% fire and casualty insurance premium tax. Currently, 25% of this tax revenue is allocated to a Fire Protection Fund for volunteer and part-volunteer departments, but the bill mandates that these funds be distributed equally among all qualifying departments meeting eligibility criteria under §8-15-8A. The State Fire Marshal must report eligible departments quarterly to the State Treasurer, who then distributes funds accordingly. This change directly affects part-volunteer fire departments statewide that currently receive funding through this tax allocation.
