This bill would let firefighters who work for the government take paid time off when they have to do military service. Right now, some firefighters might lose pay when they serve in the military. This law would make sure they still get their regular paycheck from their firefighter job while serving their country.
This policy strengthens military families by ensuring firefighter parents and community members don't face financial hardship when serving their country. It builds on Texas communities' existing support for both first responders and service members, creating pathways for people to contribute meaningfully in multiple ways.
