Bill Summary

For legislation to expand the cancer presumption for firefighters. Public Service.

AI Summary

This bill seeks to expand the cancer presumption for firefighters in Massachusetts. Specifically, it would amend Chapter 32, Section 94B(2) of the state's general laws to increase the time period during which a firefighter must have been employed from 5 years to 10 years in order to qualify for the cancer presumption. Additionally, the bill would provide that any secondary cancer suffered by a firefighter who retires under this section would be covered in accordance with Section 9 of Chapter 32, which covers workers' compensation benefits. The goal of this legislation is to broaden the protections available to firefighters who develop certain types of cancer that are presumed to be work-related.
