Relating to periodic occupational cancer screenings for firefighters.

SB 2432, the Wade Cannon Act, requires Texas cities and counties that employ firefighters to provide free, confidential cancer screenings starting in the fifth year of employment and every three years thereafter. The screenings must test for four specific cancers: colorectal, prostate (if applicable), lung, and brain cancer. This law applies directly to all firefighters covered under Texas Government Code Section 419.021 and takes effect September 1, 2025. The bill mandates no cost to firefighters and ensures screening results remain confidential.
