Firefighter benefits for arson investigators
The law expands who counts as a “firefighter” in state law. It now includes arson investigators at the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and sworn county sheriff’s deputies who investigate arson. They are eligible for firefighter-specific benefits in that section, including disability benefits. The definition applies across the full section, not just one part. The change takes effect when the act becomes law.
