This bill lowers the age for mandatory annual mammogram coverage under large group health insurance plans from 35 to 30 years old. It directly affects women aged 30-39 enrolled in large employer-sponsored health plans. The key change modifies insurance law to require annual mammograms for this age group in large plans (previously only for ages 35-39), though coverage remains subject to physician recommendation and medical necessity determination. This policy update applies to all large group health insurance policies issued or renewed after the effective date.

The law defines eligible firefighters broadly to include paid members of various fire departments and extends the benefit to properties held in trust or by cooperative apartment corporations, while excluding certain types of housing. Additionally, the bill requires the state to develop and publish a list of documents that prove eligibility for this tax relief.
