Relating to the prohibition of certain employment discrimination regarding an employee who is a volunteer emergency responder.

This bill prohibits employers from firing, suspending, or otherwise punishing employees who miss work to respond to emergencies as volunteer firefighters or emergency medical services volunteers. It requires employees to give reasonable advance notice of absences for emergencies (with exceptions for extreme situations), and limits unpaid absence to 14 days per year without employer approval. The law applies to businesses with 20 or more employees, including government entities. It aims to protect volunteer emergency responders from employment retaliation while balancing employer needs.
