CSFA Legislative Update from Leon Collins, February 23, 2018
I have added a few new bills to this week’s House Bill Status Report that is attached to this update.
The newest legislation includes the following:
- HB-5146 – AN ACT CONCERNING FUNDING FOR STATE AND REGIONAL FIRE TRAINING SCHOOLS.
- HB-5227 – AN ACT CONCERNING THE INTIMIDATION ON ACCOUNT OF OCCUPATION AS A
PUBLIC SAFETY EMPLOYEE. - HB-5228 – AN ACT REQUIRING CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTION AND WARNING EQUIPMENT IN
CERTAIN BUSINESSES. - SB-140 – AN ACT INCREASING FINES FOR VIOLATIONS COMMITTED IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE,
UTILITY WORK ZONE, TRAFFIC INCIDENT MANAGEMENT ZONE AND FIRE STATION ZONE AND
IMPROVING THE SIGNS AT SUCH ZONES. - SB-221 – AN ACT INCREASING THE FINE FOR FAILING TO MOVE OVER FOR AN EMERGENCY
VEHICLE AND INJURING THE OPERATOR OF THE EMERGENCY VEHICLE. - SB-222 – AN ACT CONCERNING THE APPOINTMENT OF A FIRE MARSHAL AND POLICE OFFICERS
AT THE CONNECTICUT AIRPORT AUTHORITY.
Walter Summers of the Connecticut Fire Marshals Association has asked me to share the following
invitation to members of the Fire Service:
I would like to invite the various fire service organizations to send a representative to a meeting of the
Code Amendment Subcommittee next week. This would support CFMA’s and DAS’s efforts to have fire
sprinklers installed in new Townhouse construction. The CT Home Builders are working very hard to get
this provision removed from the new Building Code and we need to show the Committee that the fire
service is in full support of this effort to save lives.
