Permits the establishment of a stipend program for volunteer firefighters

Summary

The bill lets cities, towns, villages, fire districts and other fire authorities set up a stipend program that pays volunteer firefighters a nominal fee for completing scheduled coverage. The payments are defined so they do not change the volunteers’ legal status or count as wages. The state fire prevention office may issue non‑binding guidelines to help implement the programs.
