The "Volunteer Firefighter Service and Training Job Retention Act" establishes provisions for employers regarding the employment rights of volunteer firefighters. Under this act, eligible employees—defined as those who volunteer at certified fire departments—are entitled to a leave of absence not exceeding 112 hours per calendar year for both firefighter training and time spent in service during emergencies. To qualify for this leave, employees must provide their employers with a signed statement from the chief of their fire department verifying their status and, for service leave, a statement confirming the time spent in service.

Additionally, the act stipulates that any leave taken under its provisions may be unpaid and cannot be used as grounds for terminating or demoting the employee, nor can it affect their accrual of annual or sick leave or seniority. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
