AN ACT CONCERNING MODIFICATIONS TO THE FIREFIGHTERS CANCER RELIEF FUND.

SB 349 modifies Connecticut's Firefighters Cancer Relief Fund by updating its reporting requirements and expanding eligibility. Starting October 1, 2026, the State Treasurer must submit an annual report detailing the fund's financial balance, actual and projected expenditures, and income sources - replacing previous requirements for beneficiary demographic data. The bill also broadens the definition of "firefighter" to include fire marshals, inspectors, and other related roles. This directly affects the fund's administration, the State Treasurer, and municipalities providing benefits under the program.
