Reducing participation required to receive volunteer firefighter tax credit

Summary

The legislation changes the volunteer firefighter tax credit rules so that a firefighter only needs to have been on‑site for at least 20% of department activities in a year, instead of 30%, to qualify. It applies to any volunteer firefighter who is an active member in good standing and meets existing certification and training requirements. Reducing the threshold could allow more volunteers to claim the credit, supporting recruitment and retention.
