Mandates access to periodic cancer screening examinations for volunteer firefighters.

This bill requires New Jersey to reimburse volunteer firefighters for periodic cancer screenings that are not covered by their personal health insurance. Starting five years after beginning service, eligible firefighters can receive up to $1,250 every three years for exams covering various cancers, with the amount adjusted annually for inflation. The law ensures there are no out-of-pocket costs, such as deductibles or copayments, and treats volunteer firefighting as an occupational condition for reimbursement purposes. Funding for these payments will come from the state's general fund, and firefighters must provide appropriate records to claim the benefits.
