Bill Summary
Including certain types of cancers for which rebuttable presumption of injury exists for firefighters
AI Summary
This bill expands the rebuttable presumption of injury for professional firefighters to include certain types of cancer, such as bladder cancer, mesothelioma, and testicular cancer, in addition to the existing presumptions for cardiovascular, pulmonary, and other diseases. The bill sets specific requirements, such as a minimum of five years of employment as a firefighter in West Virginia and no tobacco use for at least 10 years, for the presumption to apply. The amendments related to the newly added cancer types will expire in 2025 unless extended by the legislature.
