public safety cancer insurance

HB 2013 establishes a group cancer insurance program for Arizona firefighters and peace officers, funded through employer contributions. It creates a dedicated account managed by a board to cover cancer treatment costs, with employer payments treated as taxable wages for participants. The program includes tax exemptions for the account's funds at state/local levels and aims to exclude both program income and coverage from federal income tax under specific IRS codes. Employers must contribute to the account, which may use up to 10% of annual funds for administrative costs (excluding claim processing). This policy directly affects public safety workers, their employers, and the program's governing board.
