I dunno about this bill, seems kinda sketchy to me. Like, why hazard pay for prescribed burns? Is it really that dangerous? I mean, I get that it's important work and all, but do we really need to pay extra for it? I'm not sure how this bill will affect me personally, but it just doesn't sit right with me. Who even came up with this idea anyway? #confused People who do prescribed burns will be affected by this bill.
