A bill for an act establishing length of service award programs for volunteer fire fighters, volunteer emergency medical care providers, and reserve peace officers, making appropriations, and including effective date provisions.

HF 755 authorizes municipalities to establish length of service award programs for volunteer firefighters, volunteer emergency medical care providers, and reserve peace officers, providing them with tax-deferred benefits. The bill creates a state "length of service award program grant fund" under the Department of Revenue, initially funded with $2 million annually from lottery revenues. This fund can grow up to $5 million if depleted. Municipalities can apply for matching grants from this fund, up to $500 per participant, to help contribute to their local award programs. The bill is set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
