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 emphasizes the importance of mental health support for wildland firefighters, recognizing the challenges they face in their line of work. It will take effect upon the governor's signature or, if not signed, after the designated period for bills to become law without a signature, as stipulated by the Louisiana Constitution.
