House Bill No. 2011, titled the "Fighting Chance for Firefighters Act," aims to enhance cancer screening for firefighters in Oklahoma. The bill establishes a framework for cancer centers in the state to provide occupational cancer screenings, thereby addressing the health risks faced by firefighters. Additionally, the bill includes provisions to expand participation in the Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement System to include municipal and county fire departments, ensuring that these essential workers have access to necessary benefits.

The bill also amends existing law regarding the Oklahoma Employees Insurance and Benefits Plans, specifically by adding municipal and county fire departments to the list of groups eligible for participation. This amendment replaces the previous language that excluded these departments, thereby broadening the scope of employees who can access health insurance benefits. The act is set to take effect on November 1, 2025, and aims to provide critical support to firefighters in managing their health and well-being.
