Firefighter Cancer Benefits & Workers' Compensation

Summary

The legislation would automatically treat a list of cancers as occupational diseases for firefighters who have at least five years of service, unless an employer can rebut the presumption with clear and convincing medical evidence. It also bars employers from denying claims because a firefighter lacked a pre‑employment medical exam. The bill passed the General Assembly but was vetoed by Governor Jared Polis.
