Bill overview
The Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act of 2024 expands benefits under the Public Safety Officers’ Benefits Program (PSOB) to include public safety officers who develop certain cancers, such as bladder, brain, colon, and lung cancer, as a result of their work. The bill establishes a list of ‘exposure-related cancers’ and creates a process for the Bureau of Justice Assistance to periodically review and potentially add additional cancers to this list based on scientific evidence. It also clarifies that a death or disability due to these cancers is presumed to be work-related if specific exposure criteria are met, with exceptions for medical evidence to the contrary.
