Relates to hazardous materials emergency response training for incidents involving lithium-ion batteries

This bill requires the state fire administrator to update hazardous materials emergency response training to include specific guidance for incidents involving lithium-ion batteries. The legislation defines these batteries as storage units using lithium ions within a carbon graphite nickel metal-oxide substrate and mandates that the training curriculum address this technology. By adding this requirement to the existing specialized training program, the bill aims to ensure first responders are better equipped to handle fires or accidents involving these increasingly common power sources.
