🚨Amazing news for our wildland firefighters!
Now Congress should pass my bipartisan Wildland Firefighter Hazard Pay Correction Act and codify this into law.
Proud to be working together with Rep. Celeste Maloy and National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) to get this bill to the President's desk, ASAP.
The rule was proposed after the NFFE legal team and Forest Service Council (NFFE-FSC) approached OPM about providing hazard pay for prescribed fire activities, originally in 2022.
