House Bill 919 amends the Education Code and Labor Code to provide for workers' compensation insurance coverage for certain intrastate fire mutual aid system team members and regional incident management team members in the same manner as certain state employees. The bill prescribes the method for computing the average weekly wage of such a team member for purposes of computing the member's income benefits or death benefits and requires the Texas A&M Forest Service to perform all duties of an employer in relation to such a team member who is injured and receives benefits under applicable workers' compensation law.
