2014 Legislative Update

The 2014 Omnibus Retirement Bill signed into law on May 21, 2014, contains a number of provisions that affect fire relief associations. The Working Group provisions are located in Article 12.

Many of the changes were based on suggestions made by the Fire Relief Association Working Group. Included are 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 quote language that has been changed.
