HB 481 -- Fire Protection Equipment

Sponsor:  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 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.
