BILL NUMBER:A9885
Title of bill
An act to amend the general municipal law, in relation to the training of fire officers in cities of one million or more
Purpose or general idea of bill
To aid fire officers in ensuring improved fire safety protection for New York City residents and businesses.
Summary of specific provisions
The intent of this legislation is to provide a training and familiarization for all fire officers in the new Fire and Building Codes for the purpose of determining compliance with these codes and applicable laws, rules and regulations enforced by the New York City Fire Department.
Justification
New York City Local law 26 of 2008 enacted a new Fire Code effective July 1, 2008. The new NYC Building Code also took effect July 1, 2008. Prior to and subsequent to that date fire officers have received little to no training in the specifics of the new codes or the provisions of which they are empowered to enforce. Both of these new codes are extensive and voluminous in their content. Additionally, there were many substantive changes made to the existing law. This bill would provide a mechanism to grant fire officers the necessary tools to do their jobs safely.
