Safety - As enacted, enacts the "Rescue Squad Recognition Act." - Amends TCA Title 4; Title 8 and Title 68.

SB 1110, the "Rescue Squad Recognition Act," requires nonprofit rescue organizations in Tennessee to obtain official recognition from the state fire marshal to operate. It defines qualifying rescue squads as nonprofits meeting specific standards (e.g., 85% of team members meeting national safety standards, 75% volunteer staff, and IRS 501(c)(3) status), excluding law enforcement and medical agencies. To be recognized, squads must apply to the state fire marshal with a $50 fee, receive a 3-year certificate, and maintain local governing body approval. The bill mandates ongoing compliance, with non-renewal possible for violations of state rules or failure to renew. This directly affects volunteer-based rescue organizations operating across Tennessee counties and municipalities.
