2015 Legislative Update Week #1 The 2015 Utah Legislative Session began on 26 January and runs through midnight on 12 March. While there are no visible attacks towards us or labor in general, the first week on the hill proved to be a very busy one. As in past years we will maintain a daily presence at the capitol throughout the session. All members are welcome to attend our scheduled meetings/events. In the event you are not able to attend regular weekly meetings, you are welcome to join me any day that you are available. Regular weekly meetings are as follows: Wednesdays from 0630-0800 hours: AFL-CIO Labor Caucus. East bldg.(let me know if you would like to attend in advance as space is limited). Wednesdays at 1000 hours: PFFU Huddle. Capitol cafeteria (East bldg). This is the single best meeting you can attend as we discuss the bills that directly effect the Professional Fire Fighters of Utah and our IAFF affiliate locals. We cover the status of our tracked bills, our actions, and strategize our future actions so our efforts represent the best interests of ALL of your locals. Thursdays from 0900-1200 hours: Joint Fire Council. Cannon Bldg, room 125. SSL L4080 President Dave Larsen serves as Vice Chair. PFFU Pension Rep. Marty Peterson attends to brief the council on all retirement issues pending. Thursdays from 1200-1400 hours: Utah One Coalition. East Bldg, Beehive room. This coalition is made up of 9 different employee groups (unions & associations). I serve as the chair, and we can always accommodate several quests. The Utah Fire Caucus Luncheon will be held on Monday 9 Feb., 2015 at noon. Location is the Hall of Governors, which is the ground floor of the Capitol Bldg. If participating, please arrive NLT 1100 hours to receive your briefings. The following are the bills that we are tracking and actively involved in currently: SB ____ (Mayne): Workers’ Compensation Coverage for Fire Fighters (FF Presumptive Cancer). Should be numbered this week. This is our bill, and our top priority for the session. Preparing for this legislation has occupied most of my time since late October. We received good numbers and great data in our recent cancer survey statewide. Thank you to Ray Schelble and each IAFF local for getting us the data. On Friday we cleared a 2 week process of getting the “go ahead” from the Labor Commission’s Workers’ Comp Advisory Committee to move forward with the bill. We are optimistic, but realistic. It will continue to be an uphill climb. Assisting myself and Senator Mayne from here on will be Fernando Rivera (L1696). Fernando serves as our (PFFU) representative with the national Fire Fighter Cancer Support Network, which brings a unique skill set to the table for us. Our bill should go to committee within the next 2 weeks. SB ____ (Mayne): Municipal Govt Amendments. Not numbered. Will review language once released to insure it does not create any negative impacts for any of our locals. HB ____ (McCay): Forfeiture of Retirement Allowance for Felony Conviction. Not numbered yet. The Devil is in the details. We will watch very closely. HB ____ (McCay): Emergency Medical Service Peer Review Board. Not numbered yet. Would add a Peer Review Committee to the BEMS to insure better handling of personnel issues and potential investigations. We support. HB 77 (Cunningham): Post Retirement Employment. Would reduce the current re-employment wait time from 12 months to 60 days. Huge fiscal note. This is important because the employee that is involved could be the one paying the freight. Marty Peterson and I have been meeting daily with the sponsor to work out the details. At this point: We support. HB 115 (Powell): Public Safety Retirement for Dispatchers. Self explanatory. We support. HB 133 (Ipson): FF Retirement Amendments. Allows the fire service the same consideration as law enforcement when a member is transferring into an administrative/HR position. We support. HB 151 (Sagers): Volunteer FF Post Retirement Employment Amendments. We support. SB 11 (Weiler): Retirement System revisions. Looks neutral to us - Watching. SB 50 (Mayne): Railroad Revisions. Blocks the ability for Union Pacific and BNSF to reduce staffing on freight trains to only (1) person (the Engineer). I testified in committee in support of this bill last Wed. as it has a huge impact on how our crews safely respond to railway incidents. We support. SB 57 (Weiler): Taxation of Social Security Benefits. Watching. SB 63 (Bramble): Workers Compensation Fund Amendments. Funding revisions with no employee impact. We support. SB 65 (Bramble): In -State Tuition for Fallen Public Safety Officer’s & Fire Fighters’ Families. Would provide a tuition waiver for surviving family. We support. SB 91 (Hillyard): Post Retirement Employment Amendments. No impact currently to firefighters. Watching. SB 119 (Weiler): Prescription Database Revisions. Restricts unauthorized access to an individual’s protected information in several state databases. Would require proper means to obtain that access other than the current system which is NOT really secure, and has allowed members of uninvolved agencies to cross reference other agency databases to “fish” for adverse data. In plain text… people would have to get proper clearance to try and get dirt on you from someone else. This has proven to be a big issue for a couple of our locals. The ACLU is assisting us with this legislation. We support. Other pending legislation that we are involved with: (10) Fire Code bills. The State Fire Marshall’s office is the lead on these, however we will support as needed. Background checks for EMS responders. (Rep. Ray): Language pending. Watching. Medicaid Reimbursements. (Sen. Bramble): Language pending. We support. Continuing to explore additional Firefighter training site agreements and delivery methods, to include potential funding. As the session progresses, more bills will be added to our tracking list. Hope to see everyone on the hill at some point during the session! Fraternally, Jack Tidrow, President (801) 718-4392
