The bill, enacted as Act No. 333, introduces a new provision to the powers and duties of the state forester under R.S. 3:4276. Specifically, it establishes a requirement for the state forester to create a training program aimed at volunteer firefighters, focusing on proper wildland firefighting practices and procedures. This initiative is intended to enhance the skills and preparedness of volunteer firefighters in managing forest fires and wildfires effectively.

The act will take effect upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated period for bills to become law without a signature, as outlined in the Louisiana Constitution. If the governor vetoes the bill but it is later approved by the legislature, it will become effective the day after that approval.
