HB 2054 aims to modify the Rural Volunteer Fire Department Assistance Program by increasing the assessment on certain insurers to fund the program. The bill removes the $30 million cap on funding, allowing the total assessment to match appropriations from the volunteer fire department assistance fund. Additionally, it mandates that at least 10% of the fund’s appropriations be allocated to assist volunteer fire departments in high-risk wildfire areas, with provisions for reallocating unrequested funds.
