The resolution proposes an interim study to evaluate the Firefighter Cancer Benefits Act in Nebraska, focusing on potential modifications that would enhance the act without imposing unfunded mandates. The study aims to assess how similar legislation in other states has been structured, particularly regarding benefits for both paid and volunteer firefighters, and to explore the funding mechanisms for these benefits.
The Revenue Committee of the Nebraska Legislature is tasked with conducting this interim study. Upon completion, the committee is required to report its findings and recommendations to the Legislative Council or the Legislature, ensuring that the needs of Nebraska's firefighters are adequately addressed in any proposed changes to the act.
