Proposal would set commission membership and require quarterly meetings

The proposal would set the commission's membership at 12 people. The eight appointed seats include career and volunteer firefighters, fire chiefs, fire service representatives, and a representative of a Kansas school that trains firefighters. Four other seats are for named state and university officials or their designees. The governor would appoint eight members from nominees put forward by the named fire service groups and the commission chair. The proposal would take effect after publication in the statute book if enacted.

The commission would meet at least quarterly, and its chair could call special meetings. These rules apply to the Kansas fire service training commission. At least seven members could petition the chair to call a special meeting. The proposal would take effect after publication in the statute book if enacted.
