Provides pay per call and paid on call stipends for volunteer firefighters and travel expense reimbursement for call response

Summary

The bill lets cities, towns, villages, fire districts and similar authorities adopt a program that pays volunteers a nominal fee for each emergency response or standby duty, and reimburses travel costs. Participation is optional, the payments are capped so they are not considered wages, and they do not affect eligibility for existing volunteer firefighter benefits. The measure is intended to recognize volunteer effort while preserving their non‑paid status.
