An Act relative to ensuring access to neurological disorder screenings for firefighters

This bill requires full-time firefighters in Massachusetts to receive regular neurological screenings every three years, starting three years after they begin employment. It applies to firefighters in city, town, and special fire departments (including military reservation and base departments like Devens). Screenings must cover specific neurological conditions like ALS, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and stroke, with all costs covered by the employer's health plan - no out-of-pocket expenses for firefighters. The law ensures access to these preventive check-ups without financial burden, except in rare cases where federal tax rules would be violated.
