Firefighter Investments to Recognize Exposure to Cancer Act of 2023
This bill authorizes $700 million in federal grants to fund cancer prevention programs for firefighters, including multi-cancer early detection testing with a $1,750 per-test spending limit. It creates a voluntary program allowing firefighters to share anonymized test results with the CDC and FEMA to identify cancer trends in the profession, while protecting personal privacy. The legislation amends existing law to establish these prevention and research mechanisms, directly supporting firefighters exposed to cancer risks through early detection and data analysis.
