The bill enacts a new provision under R.S. 3:4276(17) that outlines the powers and duties of the state forester in Louisiana. Specifically, it mandates the establishment of an educational training program aimed at addressing post-traumatic stress and providing emotional support for wildland firefighters. This initiative is designed to help these firefighters cope with the unique stresses associated with their demanding jobs.

The bill will take effect upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated period for bills to become law without a signature. If the governor vetoes the bill but it is later approved by the legislature, it will become effective the day after that approval.
