This bill proposes to amend Arizona Revised Statutes Title 23, Chapter 6, Article 1 by adding a new section, 23-911, which states that a rural fire district is exempt from providing workers' compensation to volunteer firefighters. This insertion introduces a specific exemption that does not currently exist in the law.

Under current law, there is no explicit provision that exempts rural fire districts from the obligation to provide workers' compensation to volunteer firefighters. The bill would create this exemption, thereby updating the statutes to reflect this new legal framework for rural fire districts and their treatment of volunteer firefighters.
