Relating to volunteer firefighter compensation limits.

SB 2645 limits how much volunteer and auxiliary firefighters in Texas can be compensated annually. It prohibits fire departments from paying these volunteers more than 20% of the total compensation paid to full-time firefighters in the adjacent area during a single calendar year. The bill directly affects volunteer firefighters who receive any compensation, ensuring their pay remains below the threshold set by local full-time firefighter salaries. This amendment to the Government Code takes effect on September 1, 2026.
