Senate Bill 879 amends the Government Code to permit the Texas Commission on Fire Protection to make nonsubstantive clerical changes to a rule without review by the Fire Fighter Advisory Committee. The bill prohibits the commission from approving an application for scholarships, grants, loans, or other financial assistance if the applicant provides fire suppression services and the applicant does not routinely and consistently report incidents to the Texas Fire Incident Reporting System and participate in the National Incident Management System in accordance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency timeline. The bill also requires an applicant to furnish sufficient proof of compliance with the reporting requirements with the application.
