Bill Summary

Relative to call and volunteer firefighters and emergency medical technicians. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill aims to amend existing laws to provide equal benefits to call, volunteer, reserve, or auxiliary firefighters and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) as those provided to full-time firefighters and EMTs. Specifically, it would ensure that if an incapacitated call, volunteer, reserve, or auxiliary firefighter or EMT is unable to work, the city, town, or district must pay them an amount equal to the annual entry-level income for all occupations in the Commonwealth as determined by the Department of Labor and Workforce Development, rather than the typical amount payable to full-time personnel.
