Volunteer emergency services providers authorization to purchase personal vehicle tires under municipal contracts

This bill allows volunteer emergency services providers (like firefighters, ambulance attendants, and paramedics with at least three years of service) to purchase up to four tires for their personal vehicle every three years using their municipality’s existing tire contract. The volunteer must pay for the tires, including taxes and fees, and the municipality must provide written authorization listing the volunteer’s service years, vehicle license plate, and the contract reference. It applies only to volunteers currently serving and requires municipalities to document each purchase. The bill creates a simple administrative process with no cost to the municipality.
