§ 176-e. Training requirements for fire commissioners. Each fire

commissioner shall attend and successfully complete a

commissioner-specific state-approved training course within two hundred

seventy days of the taking of such office. The course will contain

training related to legal, fiduciary, financial, procurement, and

ethical responsibilities and such other disciplines as may be prescribed

by the state comptroller. Such course shall be prescribed and certified

in rules promulgated by the state comptroller. The manner, frequency,

and duration of such course shall be established by such rules. Course

materials should be made available upon request. When approved by the

board of fire commissioners in advance of a commissioner attending such

training course, the actual and necessary expenses incurred by a

commissioner in successfully completing the training required by this

section shall be a charge against the fire district.
