LOCAL GOVERNMENT-TECH

This bill, titled "LOCAL GOVERNMENT-TECH," authorizes the Shelby County Board to create, fund, and manage a volunteer rescue squad to assist local first responders. The squad is permitted to locate missing persons, provide support during firefighting efforts, and help extricate people from dangerous situations, though it cannot perform direct firefighting duties. Additionally, the legislation allows the county to offer benefits to volunteers who become ill, injured, or die while performing their duties. Although the official abstract mentions a technical change to a section title, the enacted text establishes these specific operational powers and support measures for the volunteer group.
