State Board of Adjustment, provide death benefit to survivors of volunteer firefighters who die of cancer

Summary

The law extends Alabama's line‑of‑duty death benefit to the survivors of volunteer firefighters who die of certain cancers linked to their service. It sets eligibility criteria such as a clean pre‑certification physical, at least six years of volunteer service, and documented exposure to a known carcinogen. The change aims to give volunteer firefighters the same compensation protections that paid firefighters already receive.
