Wildland Firefighter Fair Pay Act
This bill exempts federal wildland firefighters in the Department of the Interior, the Department of Agriculture (USDA), and the Department of Commerce from certain premium pay limitations for work relating to wildfire emergencies.
The bill applies retroactively to January 1, 2020.
Interior and USDA must each separately submit a report to specified congressional committees on the resources, policies, personnel or structural changes, and other investments necessary to support an expanded full-time, year-round firefighting workforce.
