AN ACT relating to firefighters' work schedules.

This bill updates Kentucky law to allow certain fire department personnel to work a schedule of 48 hours on duty followed by 96 hours off duty, where no collective bargaining agreement exists. If a city or urban-county government has a collective bargaining agreement in place, that agreement can still set work hours instead. The change gives fire departments more flexibility in how they schedule their staff. Who it may affect: firefighters and fire department personnel employed by cities and urban-county governments in Kentucky.
