FIRE PROTECT/FIREMEN: Provides relative to cancer screenings for certain firefighters and fire service employees (EN INCREASE LF EX See Note)

HB 253 is a technical amendment bill that corrects minor grammatical and spelling errors in the text of a separate fire protection law. These changes include removing an extra article, fixing a possessive noun, and standardizing the spelling of "copayment." The bill does not introduce new policies or funding but serves only to refine the language of an existing measure regarding cancer screenings for firefighters.
