SB 2700 Mississippi Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Length of Service Award Program for recruitment and retention of volunteer firefighters; extend repealer on.

SB 2700 extends the expiration date of Mississippi's Length-of-Service Award Program (LOSAP), which provides $500 annual awards to eligible volunteer firefighters to support recruitment and retention. The program directly affects registered part-time or on-call volunteer firefighters who meet activity requirements (like responding to calls and completing training) and are not full-time career firefighters. Administered by a board including the Insurance Commissioner and State Fire Coordinator, LOSAP funds are deposited into individual accounts, with the program funded through a special state treasury fund. This bill does not change the $500 annual limit or core eligibility rules but delays the program's automatic termination date beyond its current 2030 deadline.
