The bill S. 100 aims to amend Section 40-80-50 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to the registration of firefighters by the Office of the State Fire Marshal. The proposed changes seek to revise and clarify the information requirements for registering firefighters. Specifically, the bill stipulates that upon the recommendation of a fire chief or employer, the Office of the State Fire Marshal must register each firefighter and maintain essential information, including the firefighter's complete name, date of birth, social security number, South Carolina driver's license number, employer name, and date of employment or membership.

Additionally, the bill mandates that the Office of the State Fire Marshal notify the chief of the employing fire department or other employer regarding the registration, with the option for this notification to be sent electronically or in written form. The fire chief is also required to use forms provided by the Office of the State Fire Marshal for this process. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor.
