California Conservation Corps: training programs: formerly incarcerated individuals: reporting.
- Requires state agencies to evaluate a firefighter training program for formerly incarcerated individuals.
- Mandates submission of program evaluation findings to legislative committees by January 1, 2026.
- Explores potential expansion of training centers to other regions of California.
- Takes immediate effect to address critical firefighter shortages amid increasing catastrophic fires.
Assembly Member Ransom's proposal for evaluating California's firefighter training programs for formerly incarcerated individuals directs state agencies to assess and potentially expand pathways from conservation camps to professional firefighting careers. The measure requires the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection and the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation to jointly examine the Ventura Training Center's effectiveness and opportunities for enhancement.
The evaluation must analyze three key areas: streamlining enrollment for individuals who complete Conservation Camp programs, increasing the rate at which graduates secure firefighting positions, and examining the feasibility of establishing additional training centers across California. The departments must submit their findings to legislative public safety and emergency management committees by January 1, 2026.
The measure includes an urgency clause for immediate implementation, citing California's firefighter shortage amid increasing catastrophic fires. The added provisions would expire on January 1, 2030, unless extended through subsequent legislation.
