AI Summary

  • Requires operational safety plans to mandate that employees check in with the incident commander or safety officer for incident-specific procedures before taking any action at an incident location
  • Amends evacuation procedure requirements to apply "to the extent applicable" rather than being "tailored to the specific deployment scenario"
  • When the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation coordinates with other entities and is not the lead response agency, requires reasonable efforts to provide employees with the incident-specific operational safety plan from the lead agency or incident commander
  • Takes effect on the same date as the 2025 law (S. 7680-A/A. 6634-A) that originally mandated development of operational safety plans for hazardous condition deployments
