Bill(s)
2021 Act 104 make a number of changes to Wisconsin’s regional structural collapse team contracted with the Division of Emergency Management in the Department of Military Affairs. The bill changes the team's designation from being a structural collapse team to an urban search and rescue task force and expands the disaster incidents that the team responds to. Currently, the team is comprised of local government firefighters and other technical specialists.
The bill allows DMA to reimburse a local employer for any increase in contributions for duty disability premiums because an employee incurred an injury while performing duties as a member of an urban search and rescue task force.
