Mandates access to periodic cancer screening examinations for volunteer firefighters; increases tax on fire insurance premiums.

This bill requires New Jersey to reimburse volunteer firefighters for cancer screenings not covered by their health insurance, starting five years after they begin service and every three years thereafter. It covers 11 specific cancer types (including colon, lung, breast, and prostate) with reimbursement capped at $1,250 per three-year period (adjusted for inflation), and no out-of-pocket costs for firefighters. Funding comes from a 0.1% increase in the tax on fire insurance premiums, with the revenue allocated to a special fund managed by the Department of Community Affairs. Volunteer firefighting service is designated as a pre-existing condition for this program, ensuring coverage without insurance barriers.
