House Bill No. by Representative Boudreaux amends existing law regarding fire department identification numbers and reporting requirements. The bill mandates that all municipal fire departments, fire protection districts, and volunteer fire departments obtain a fire department identification (FDID) number from the National Emergency Response Information System, replacing the previous requirement to obtain it from the state fire marshal.

Additionally, the bill requires these organizations to submit reports of all incidents electronically, rather than just structural fire reports as previously mandated. This change aims to enhance the reporting process and ensure comprehensive data collection on fire incidents across the state.
