This bill proposes amendments to section 38-644 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the provisions related to the public safety cancer insurance policy program. The current law allows individuals whose eligibility for benefits is expiring to maintain coverage by making an election and paying the full cost of the premium. The bill modifies this by requiring the individual to pay only fifty percent of the premium cost, with the employer covering the remaining amount.

Additionally, the bill introduces a new effective date, stating that the act will take effect after December 31, 2025. Overall, these changes aim to ease the financial burden on retired public safety personnel while ensuring continued access to necessary insurance coverage.
