THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

     Sec. 15a. An employee of a public fire department may

employment with another fire department if that employment does not

conflict with his or her performance of the original employment as

determined by the original employer. [This section does not create a

shall not adopt or apply an ordinance, rule, or policy in conflict

with the right granted an employee under this section. Collective

bargaining between a public employer and a bargaining

representative of its employees shall not include the subject of a

prohibition on an employee volunteering for or obtaining paid on-

call employment with another fire department.
