The bill proposes a legislative management study during the 2025-26 interim to assess the evolving operational and response needs of the fire service in North Dakota. The study will focus on several key areas, including the coordination of state resources for fire emergency services, the creation of regional response teams, and the establishment of standardized training and operational initiatives. Additionally, it will evaluate staffing capabilities, fiscal support restructuring to lessen reliance on local property taxes, and necessary changes to state laws and administrative rules to create a unified fire service model.

To ensure a comprehensive evaluation, the study will involve consultations with various stakeholders, including the state fire marshal, firefighter associations, and emergency services departments. The legislative management may also hire a consultant to assist with the study. Upon completion, the findings and recommendations, along with any proposed legislation for implementation, will be reported to the seventieth legislative assembly.
