The bill mandates that full-time firefighters employed by state or local fire departments, as well as certain military and regional fire departments, receive cancer screening examinations. These screenings must occur at least once every three years, starting three years after the firefighter's employment begins. The bill specifies that the screenings should include tests for various types of cancer, including colon, lung, bladder, oral, thyroid, skin, blood, breast, cervical, testicular, and prostate cancers.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that all costs associated with these screenings will be covered by the firefighters' health care benefits plan or program provided by their employer. Importantly, firefighters will not be required to pay any co-payments, deductibles, coinsurance, or out-of-pocket expenses for these examinations, unless such cost-sharing is necessary to maintain the tax-exempt status of the applicable health plan under federal law.
