Overview
This bill requires New Jersey volunteer firefighters to receive periodic cancer screenings and mandates that the state will cover the costs, up to $1,250 every three years, with annual adjustments for inflation. To fund these screenings, the bill increases the tax on fire insurance premiums by one-tenth of a percent, dedicating the revenue to a state fund. Volunteer firefighting is defined as a pre-existing condition for reimbursement purposes.
