Counties - No-Cost Preventive Cancer Screenings for Volunteer and Retired Volunteer Firefighters

Summary

The law requires every Maryland county that hosts a volunteer fire company to offer no‑cost preventive cancer screenings to its volunteer firefighters, including those who have retired. Volunteer fire companies must keep an up‑to‑date roster of these firefighters and share it with the county, while counties can meet the requirement either by conducting an annual exam or by securing a grant for advanced screening technologies. The measure aims to improve early cancer detection among a high‑risk public‑service group.
