Firefighter Cancer Registry Reauthorization Act of 2023
This bill reauthorizes funding for the National Firefighter Cancer Registry, which tracks cancer cases among firefighters. It increases annual funding from $2.5 million (2018-2022) to $5.5 million for fiscal years 2024-2028. The registry remains voluntary, collecting data on firefighters diagnosed with cancer to better understand occupational risks. This funding ensures the program continues operating to gather and analyze cancer incidence data. The direct effect is on the registry program itself, enabling ongoing data collection for firefighter health research.
