Including three types of cancer for which rebuttable presumption of injury from employment exists for firefighters
AI Summary
This bill expands the rebuttable presumption of injury from employment for firefighters to include three additional types of cancer: bladder cancer, mesothelioma, and testicular cancer.

The bill also provides details on how occupational disease claims, including those related to firefighting, are processed under workers' compensation.
