Linemen Legacy Act

This bill amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to officially recognize utility line technicians as emergency response providers during major disasters or presidential emergencies. The change adds utility line technicians to the list of qualified emergency responders, ensuring they receive appropriate support and resources when responding to declared disasters. The legislation applies specifically to utility workers who are actively responding to emergencies declared under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. By making this clarification, the bill aims to formalize the role of utility line technicians in emergency response efforts without changing their existing responsibilities or authority.
