CalChiefs Call to Action

CalChiefs is requesting members provide letters of support to SB 577. SB 577 (Hurtado) will allow the State Fire Marshal to accept additional funding sources for the California Fire Service Training and Education Program. The bill will make the same change relative to the California Fire and Arson Training Act also permitting the State Fire Marshall to receive additional funding sources for training programs will help to mitigate rising fees for those seeking fire training certification.  Please see fact sheet for additional information. SB 577 is set in the Senate Governmental Organization Committee on March 28, 2023. 

A template letter in support of SB 577 is provided.  Please submit your letter online via Advocate Portal https://calegislation.lc.ca.gov/Advocates/.  Please send a copy to Harrison Pardini at [email protected]. 

Thank you.
