The proposed bill establishes a new provision under the Health Care Purchasing Act that mandates no-cost preventive cancer screenings for firefighters covered by group health insurance, including self-insurance. These screenings must adhere to the latest guidelines set forth by the International Association of Firefighters and will not incur any cost-sharing expenses, meaning firefighters will not be responsible for deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance related to these screenings.

Additionally, the bill defines key terms relevant to its implementation, specifying that "cost sharing" refers to any policy deductibles, copayments, or coinsurance, and clarifying that a "firefighter" is any member of a fire department that is part of or administered by the state or its political subdivisions. This legislation aims to enhance the health and well-being of firefighters by ensuring they have access to essential cancer screenings without financial barriers.
