Subsequent to the passage of SB 1387 the AFDA Board of Directors through the Education Committee have  developed the following implementation guidelines in conjunction with the Arizona Attorney General Opinion (No.I14-003) for the training component of SB 1387. The following fire district officials will be required to complete six hours of training within the twelve months directly following the November general election.
  • Board members elected or appointed (due to running unopposed) as a result of the November 2018 General Election and Fire Chiefs hired on or after November 5, 2014 are required to complete six hours of training as defined by SB1387 within twelve months of election, appointment or hire.
  • Incumbent board members whose term of office expired in 2018 will be required to complete the six hours of required training within the twelve months directly following the November 2018 General Election.  

At the bi-annual AFDA Conferences complete six-hour  SB 1387 training  classes will be offered covering the following subjects:

  • Finance
