- The Protecting Volunteer Firefighters and Emergency Responders Act (H.R. 33, Pub.L. 114–3 (text) (PDF)) is a bill that amends the Internal Revenue Code to exclude volunteer hours of volunteer firefighters and emergency medical personnel from counting towards the calculation of the number of a firm’s full-time employees for purposes of certain provisions of the Affordable Care Act. This would mean that there is no requirement that volunteer emergency responders be offered health care by the organization they volunteer with. The bill was proposed in the 113th United States Congress as H.R. 3979, and passed, but the text of the bill was modified, ultimately turning the bill into a defense authorization. In the United States Senate, Majority Leader Harry Reid chose to use the bill as a legislative vehicle to pass an extension of federal long-term unemployment insurance benefits. When the bill reached the senate, Reid added substantial provisions on unemployment, renaming the bill the Emergency Unemployment Compensation Extension Act of 2014. The bill passed the Senate with the new unemployment language. The bill was passed into law as Carl Levin and Howard P. "Buck" McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015. (Pub.L. 113–291 (text) (PDF)) The language of the original bill was passed in the 114th congress. (en)
