Linemen Legacy Act

This bill, titled the Linemen Legacy Act , seeks to amend the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to expand the definition of "emergency response providers." The primary purpose is to formally recognize the critical role of utility line technicians during times of crisis and ensure their inclusion in federal emergency response efforts. Specifically, the legislation modifies Section 2(6) of the Homeland Security Act to include these technicians within the definition of emergency response providers. This inclusion applies when they are actively responding to a major disaster or an emergency officially declared by the President under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. The amendment aims to provide clarity and support for these essential workers who restore vital infrastructure following catastrophic events.
