Summary

The purpose of this bill is to allow the State Fire Marshal to award the service weapon of a retiring State Fire Marshal, any full-time deputy fire marshal or any full-time assistant fire marshal employed by the State Fire Marshal to the retiree without charge when the retiring member honorably retires with at least 10 years of service or with less than 10 years of service based upon determination that the retiring employee is totally physically disabled as a result of service with the State Fire Marshal; prohibiting the award of a service weapon to a retiring employee whom the State Fire Marshal knows is prohibited from possessing a firearm, is mentally incapacitated, or a danger to any person or the community; authorizing the sale of service weapons that are taken out of service due to routine wear to any active or retired State Fire Marshal; providing that proceeds from the sales be used to offset the cost of new service weapons; and exempting the sale from the requirements of the Purchasing Division.
