SCS SB 197 -- FIRE PROTECTION EQUIPMENT 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 in writing of any defect they know about in the equipment.Copyright (c) Missouri House of Representatives
