Volunteer firefighter and EMT pension account-amendments.
This bill increases the monthly contribution required from volunteer firefighters and EMTs from $15 to $16 to join the pension account. It also directs an additional 5% of Wyoming's fire insurance premium tax to the pension fund, specifically to provide an extra annual payment to members. The new payment amount is capped at one month's regular benefit and must be funded solely by this dedicated tax revenue. The changes affect all participating volunteer firefighters and EMTs who pay the required monthly contribution to qualify for pension benefits. The bill took effect July 1, 2019.
