AI Summary
This bill, the Wildland Firefighter Fair Pay Act, aims to waive limitations on overtime and premium pay for wildland firefighters employed by the Department of Agriculture, the Department of the Interior, and the Department of Commerce. Specifically, it would disregard premium pay for covered services when calculating pay period and annual limitations, while capping total compensation at the rate of basic pay payable for a position at level II of the Executive Schedule. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretaries of the Interior and Agriculture to submit reports on the resources, policies, and costs necessary to support an expanded, full-time, year-round firefighting workforce, including how such a workforce could be utilized to increase suppression capacity and support hazardous fuels reduction activities.
