Relating to eligibility requirements for allocation from the Fire Protection Fund

HB 5347 requires volunteer and part-volunteer fire companies or departments in West Virginia to be members in good standing with the West Virginia State Firemen’s Association to qualify for funding from the Fire Protection Fund. "Good standing" means having current membership without overdue dues exceeding 90 days and no active suspension or expulsion by the Association. The bill maintains existing requirements like submitting fire loss data, completing firefighter training, and complying with federal/state laws (e.g., NFPA, OSHA). It applies directly to eligible fire companies seeking fund allocations, with temporary exemptions for disaster-affected organizations and a 90-day grace period for compliance.
