2013 Legislative Update

The 2013 Omnibus Retirement Bill signed into law on May 23, 2013, contains a number of provisions that affect fire relief associations. The Working Group provisions are located in Article 6. 

Many of the changes were based on suggestions made by the Fire Relief Association Working Group. The proposals included technical changes that corrected and clarified statutory references and updates to current drafting standards. The technical changes most likely will not require changes to your relief association’s bylaws, unless your bylaws reference specific statutory citations or language that has been changed.
