This bill amends Section 94B of chapter 32 of the General Laws to enhance firefighter retirement benefits. Specifically, it changes the retirement age from five years to ten years, thereby extending the period before firefighters can retire with benefits.

Additionally, the bill introduces a provision that ensures coverage for any secondary cancer that may arise if a firefighter retires under this section. This coverage is to be in accordance with section 9 of the General Laws, thereby providing additional health security for retiring firefighters.
