Concerns lung cancer screening awareness and access.

Summary

The bill establishes the New Jersey First Responder and Veteran Lung Cancer Screening Awareness and Referral Program within the Department of Health. It will produce and distribute educational materials, maintain an online directory of screening sites, and set up voluntary referral pathways so eligible firefighters, police, EMS personnel and veterans can access low‑dose CT scans under existing insurance coverage. The aim is to improve early detection of lung cancer among these high‑risk groups.
