The Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs will hold a public hearing to receive public  
comments on proposed changes to the Fire Fighters Training Council rule set.  
The public hearing is being held to receive comments on proposed rules amendments to the Fire  
Fighters Training Council Rules. These rules are required under the Fire Fighters Training Council Act of  
1966 (Public Act (PA) 291 of 1966). Section 9 of the Act (MCL 29.369) requires the Council to prepare  
and publish advisory standards of physical, education, mental and moral fitness to govern the  
recruitment, selections and appointment of fire fighters, and for the approval of fire fighter training  
schools. Section 16 of the Act (MCL 29.376) requires the Council to adopt rules. The Fire Fighters  
Training Council rules have not been updated since 2016. PA 291 of 1966 has been amended several  
times since these rules were first promulgated and the current rule set does not reflect the requirements  
in the current statute as amended. The proposed rule set will bring the rule set up to date with current  
law.  
These rules are being promulgated by authority conferred on the Fire Fighters Training Council by  
Section 16 of PA 291 of 1966, MCL 29.376 and Executive Order Reorganization No. 2003-1, MCL  
445.2011. The rules will take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State. These rules will  
take effect Immediately after filing with the Secretary of State. The rules are published on the Michigan  
Government web site at http://www.michigan.gov/moahr and in the Michigan Register in the 3/1/2021  
issue. Copies of the draft rules may also be obtained by mail or electronic transmission at the following
