Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the Department of Administration administers a service
award program, which provides monetary length-of-service awards to volunteer fire
fighters, first responders, and volunteer emergency medical technicians. Under the
program, DOA pays a state match of up to $390 per service award per fiscal year
based on amounts contributed by municipalities. The appropriation for the state
match paid by DOA is currently capped at $2,500,000 per fiscal year.
This bill increases that amount to $2,805,700 in fiscal year 2019-20 and
$2,900,000 in fiscal year 2020-21 and subsequent fiscal years.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as
an appendix to this bill.
