Bill > A3939

This bill mandates access to periodic cancer screening examinations for full-time paid firefighters not enrolled in the State Health Benefits Program (SHBP), but who are eligible for SHBP by virtue of public employment. It requires these firefighters to be provided with cancer screenings at least every three years, covering a range of cancers. The bill also provides for state reimbursement of up to $1,250 per three-year period per firefighter for public employers that do not participate in SHBP, and for public employers that participate in SHBP to provide coverage for cancer screenings for employees who waive SHBP coverage. The bill aims to ensure that all eligible firefighters have access to comprehensive cancer screening, regardless of their SHBP enrollment status.
