The bill would provide pay and allowances for federal firefighters during a lapse in fiscal year 2026 appropriations. This funding would end when new funding is enacted, when an appropriations measure is enacted without funding for this purpose, or on January 1, 2027, whichever comes first. During a lapse in discretionary appropriations, federal firefighters could not be removed from the civil service because of a reduction in force.
Federal firefighters whose main duties involve controlling and extinguishing fires would receive pay and allowances during a fiscal year 2026 funding lapse. They could not be removed through a reduction in force while discretionary appropriations are lapsed.
The bill would provide whatever sums are necessary from the Treasury for pay and allowances. It does not state a specific dollar amount.
