MI HB5684

Establishes that firefighter training and compensation must be funded from fireworks safety fees collected under the Michigan Fireworks Safety Act (2011 PA 256) and deposited in the fireworks safety fund.

Allows funding for overtime compensation that organized fire departments must pay to maintain minimum staffing levels while firefighters attend required training.

Requires the fireworks safety fund to be distributed to county training committees using a formula of 70% county population and 30% square miles, with a minimum disbursement amount that may be requested by the council and approved by the state fire marshal.

Mandates that county training committee chairpersons survey training needs and designate fund expenditures by January 1 of the fiscal year, with undesignated funds returned to the council for redistribution or deposited back into the fireworks safety fund.

Limits fund distribution to organized fire departments and public safety departments that have adhered to established standards and complied with incident reporting requirements under the Fire Prevention Code during the 12 months preceding an application.

Takes effect 90 days after enactment, contingent on the passage of House Bill 5685.
