Tim’s Act
Summary
H.R. 3108: Tim’s Act
This bill aims to overhaul the compensation and benefits system for federal wildland firefighters to better reflect the hazardous nature of their work. If passed, it would significantly increase base pay for entry-level and mid-career firefighters, mandate pay for rest periods during long deployments, and provide specialized mental health support for job-related psychological injuries. For citizens, these changes are intended to improve the recruitment and retention of the federal firefighting workforce, ensuring more stable and experienced crews are available to protect communities and public lands from increasingly severe wildfire seasons.
