Bill overview
This bill amends Arizona law to establish a presumption that certain cancers – including brain, bladder, rectal or colon cancer, lymphoma, leukemia, adenocarcinoma, and mesothelioma – are occupational diseases for firefighters and peace officers. It applies to both current and former employees who meet specific criteria, such as a minimum period of hazardous duty and a lack of evidence of cancer before employment. The bill also includes provisions to rebut this presumption with clear and convincing evidence of a non-occupational cause.
