Linemen Legacy Act

The Linemen Legacy Act amends Section 2(6) of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to explicitly include "utility line technicians responding to a major disaster or emergency declared by the President" as emergency response providers. This directly affects utility line technicians who work during federally declared disasters, granting them formal recognition under federal law as part of the emergency response workforce. The bill updates an existing legal definition without creating new programs, funding, or requirements - only expanding the scope of who qualifies under current disaster response frameworks.
