BILL INTRODUCED TO ADDRESS LOSAP POINTS DURING PANDEMIC

A bill was introduced in the Senate this week to address how the current COVID-19 pandemic has impacted how firefighters can earn LOSAP points.

At this point, we are providing the text of the bill with no comments. It can be found at the bottom of this article.

In general, we maintain that we cannot assess how this pandemic will impact how firefighters can earn 50 points until we are clearly near the bottom of the curve. Therefore, it is difficult to know how to best address this situation. Since this legislation is only in bill form, we encourage you not to wait for this bill to possibly become law – start thinking about ways to be creative to allow firefighters to earn points in 2020.

We have been asked for our input on this bill and will be providing it soon.
