This bill authorizes firefighters employed by the state forestry division of the office of state lands and investments to receive hazard pay and paid time off in accordance with federal standards. Specifically, it mandates that correctional forestry crew supervisors, correctional crew supervisors, and other personnel in wildland firefighting roles will receive a differential for hazardous work and be eligible for paid time off.

Additionally, the bill appropriates $422,500 from the general fund to support the hazard pay provisions, with the funding designated for the period from May 1, 2026, to June 30, 2028. The bill also requires the department of administration and information, along with the office of state lands and investments, to create necessary rules for implementation. The act is set to take effect on May 1, 2026, with certain sections becoming effective immediately upon the bill's passage.
