House lowers minimum age to become licensed fire‑extinguisher technician from 21 to 18
The Oklahoma House adopted House Bill 30‑81, which reduces the minimum age requirement to become a licensed fire‑extinguisher technician from 21 to 18, aligning it with age requirements for sprinkler and alarm technicians.

Representative Kelly introduced the measure as a workforce development issue and moved for adoption, saying it brings parity between related trades. There were no extended questions on the floor; the Clerk announced the vote tally as 90 aye, 0 nay and the Speaker declared the bill passed.

The transcript records a brief presentation and unanimous adoption; no amendments or fiscal effects were detailed on the floor.
