The bonuses start at $4,000, but those willing to instruct courses or subject matters with really acute shortages will receive an additional $1,000, DeSantis said, according to the Miami Herald. The initiative would also expand the waiver of certification exam fees offered to vets also to all retired first responders.
"Just like we do for veterans, we will do for the other first responders," DeSantis said at a press conference in New Port Richey. "We will waive the exam fees for the state certification program."
