Wyoming firefighters get hazard pay and leave

Beginning May 1, 2026, covered Wyoming State Forestry Division employees get extra pay for firefighting work deemed hazardous. They also qualify for paid time off. Covered jobs include correctional forestry crew supervisors, correctional crew supervisors, correctional forestry crew managers, and all other wildland firefighting occupations. The Office of State Lands and Investments must monitor federal firefighter pay and leave standards, but those standards are not binding. The law sets no pay rate or amount of leave. It provides the office $422,500 from the general fund for hazard pay from May 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028. The office cannot transfer this money or use it for another purpose. Any money neither spent nor committed returns to the general fund on June 30, 2028. The Legislature intends to include this funding in the next two-year standard budget. The Department of Administration and Information and the office must issue rules to carry out the law. That rulemaking requirement took effect upon enactment; the benefits have no stated end date.
