Not enough signal yet to read this bill's trajectory — we surface a likelihood only once there's real movement (stage, sponsorship, committee, or votes) to point to.

Prognosis reads this bill's own signals — stage, sponsorship breadth, committee status, recorded votes and cross-state momentum. Odds come from a model trained on which bills have become law.

In plain language

The bill regulates youth participation in fire department programs and limits their emergency response roles.

This bill allows youth in fire department programs to respond to emergencies but restricts their actions for safety. It also provides liability protections for volunteer fire departments.

What this means for you
  • Workers: This means volunteer firefighters may have fewer liabilities related to youth participants in their programs.
