TECH RESCUE TEAM REIMBURSEMENT

Summary
Creates the Technical Rescue Team Response Reimbursement Act. Establishes the Technical Rescue Team Reimbursement Fund to alleviate the financial hardships imposed upon any community that uses State or Mutual Aid Box Alarm System technical rescue teams to respond to emergency incidents. Requires any responsible party to reimburse the emergency response agencies responding to an emergency incident for the costs incurred in using technical response teams to provide emergency action. Provides that, if the responsible party fails to reimburse the emergency response agency, then moneys in the Technical Rescue Team Reimbursement Fund shall be used to reimburse the agency and the responsible party shall be required to reimburse the Fund. Requires the State Fire Marshal to establish a 7-member administrative panel to (i) review claims made against the Fund, determine the identity of responsible parties, and determine the reasonable and necessary expenses to be reimbursed to an emergency response agency and (ii) affirm that the emergency response agency made a reasonable effort to recover expended costs from the responsible party. Amends the State Finance Act to create the Technical Rescue Team Reimbursement Fund.
