Firefighter Benefits

This bill changes the definition of "cancer" in firefighter benefits law to include acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Firefighters diagnosed with AML will now qualify for expanded treatment benefits under existing programs. The key provision revises the legal definition to add AML to the list of covered cancers, directly affecting firefighters in the state who develop this specific cancer. This creates a concrete policy change for benefit eligibility without altering other aspects of the program.
