House Ways & Means Committee Fully Funds Key Fire Service Legislation

March 4, 2021

News from the SC House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee!
 
Yesterday, the Committee vote to fully fund SC FAST at $250,000 (recurring), the SC Firefighter Cancer Health Care Benefit Plan at $3,784,000 (recurring) and South Carolina State Fire's Urban Search and Rescue (US&R) at $850,000 (non-recurring).
 
This is great news and we thank the House Ways & Means for their continued support of the SC Fire Service and our 17,000+ members, but we still have a long road ahead as the bill will travel to the floor of the House for debate over the coming weeks. We ask that you continue to discuss these legislative items with your House members and ask them to support these bills as they come to a vote!
