MI HB5752

Creates the "Volunteer Firefighter and Emergency Medical Services Personnel Incentive Act" to establish an incentive program encouraging volunteers in firefighting and emergency medical services.

Requires each organized fire department and life support agency to designate a certification administrator to track volunteer activities and award points based on emergency response calls, training courses, drills, meetings, leadership positions, and fire prevention activities.

Sets minimum annual service requirement of 50 points out of 100 possible points for a volunteer to qualify as a "qualified volunteer" and be eligible for an income tax credit under MCL 206.254.

Establishes specific point-awarding criteria: 25 points for responding to at least 10% of emergency calls, up to 25 points for training courses, up to 20 points for drills, up to 10 points each for meetings and fire prevention activities, and 10 points for completing an elected or appointed position.

Requires local units of government to certify qualified volunteer lists by February 10 and file them with the Department of Treasury by February 15 for eligibility determination.

Bill becomes effective only if House Bill 5751 or a Senate Bill (number unspecified) from the 98th Legislature is also enacted.
