1 Section 1. Section 411.1, subsection 6, Code 2024, is
2 amended by striking the subsection and inserting in lieu
3 thereof the following:
4 6. “Cancer” means a group of diseases involving abnormal
5 cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other
6 parts of the body.
7 Sec. 2. IMPLEMENTATION OF ACT. Section 25B.2, subsection
8 3, shall not apply to this Act.
9 EXPLANATION
10 The inclusion of this explanation does not constitute agreement with
11 the explanation’s substance by the members of the general assembly.
12 This bill concerns benefits relating to members of the
13 municipal fire and police retirement system (411 system).
14 The bill expands the definition of “cancer” by striking
15 references to specific cancers and inserting a more generalized
16 description.
17 By expanding the definition of “cancer” to include more
18 cancer diagnoses, the bill likewise expands the availability of
19 accidental disability and death benefits to members of the 411
20 system who have a cancer diagnosis.
21 The bill may include a state mandate as defined in Code
22 section 25B.3. The bill makes inapplicable Code section 25B.2,
23 subsection 3, which would relieve a political subdivision from
24 complying with a state mandate if funding for the cost of
25 the state mandate is not provided or specified. Therefore,
26 political subdivisions are required to comply with any state
27 mandate included in the bill.
