Bill overview
Senate Bill 581, the ‘Fight for Firefighters Act of 2025,’ aims to provide permanent employment opportunities for seasonal firefighters working as Firefighter I classifications within CAL FIRE. The bill requires state agencies, including the Department of Human Resources and the State Personnel Board, to facilitate a transition of these seasonal employees to permanent firefighter positions. This transition will involve good-faith bargaining between the exclusive representative and the state employer regarding wages, hours, and other employment terms. Ultimately, the bill seeks to secure more stable employment for a significant portion of CAL FIRE’s workforce.
