Modifies the definition of "firefighter" under the Public Safety Recruitment and Retention Act

Summary

The bill rewrites the term “firefighter” in Missouri’s Public Safety Recruitment and Retention Act so that any officer, member, or employee of a fire department, fire‑protection district, or similar organization – including clerical staff – is covered. It also removes language that previously excluded volunteer firefighters. The change could affect who qualifies for tuition‑award benefits provided to public‑safety personnel under the same act.
