HB 342 -- Fire Protection Equipment

Co-Sponsors:  Ransdall, Luetkenhaus

Under current law, no cause of action exists against fire
protection entities for equipment they donate to other entities
if the State Fire Marshal approves the equipment.  These
immunities only apply to actions directly related to this
equipment.  This bill requires any motor vehicle that is donated
to pass a safety inspection by the Missouri State Highway
Patrol.  Receiving agencies must also demonstrate to the Fire
Marshal that any equipment received works properly.  Donor
agencies must inform the receiving agency of any defect they
know about in the equipment.
