The gavel fell bringing the 2008 Indiana General Assembly to an end on March 14.  Listed below are bills that the PFFUI Legislative Team was successful in obtaining passage on.  I would like to thank everyone for being involved in this process and more importantly for your continued support of our efforts. While the Legislative Team continues to move forward with the goal of enhancing the benefits of the men and women of the career fire service, it is important to note that we cannot do this alone.  That was evident when on February 25^th more than 350 of you showed up at the State House in an effort to speak with your elected officials on the impact that HB 1001 could have on your municipality.  Your professionalism was witnessed by everyone and I can’t say enough about how respectful all of you were in those halls. 

As the Legislative Team concludes the 2008 session, we are gearing up for 2009 and look forward to hearing how we can be of assistance to you, our members.

Fraternally,

Jim Ridley
