Mandates access to periodic cancer screening examinations for volunteer firefighters; increases tax on fire insurance premiums.

Summary

The bill obligates New Jersey to reimburse volunteer firefighters for periodic cancer‑screening exams after five years of service and every three years thereafter, covering up to $1,250 per three‑year period with no out‑of‑pocket costs. It also increases a tax on fire‑insurance premiums paid by out‑of‑state insurers, directing most of the revenue to the New Jersey Firemen’s Home and a small portion to a new revolving fund that pays the screenings.
