Public Safety - Stationary Energy Storage Systems

Summary

The bill makes the owner or operator of a stationary energy storage system pay for specialized fire‑response training and the necessary equipment for any local fire department that would respond to a fire at the system’s site. Training must follow the NFPA 855 standard, and the State Fire Marshal will oversee compliance. The goal is to improve safety around large battery installations.
