This week a bill I have been pushing for years finally got passed by both Chambers and is sitting on the Governor’s desk. For firefighters and police officers in the 411 system, this bill provides full cancer coverage. These individuals work in extremely stressful and dangerous environments yet in code they were only covered for 14 different kinds of cancer. We all know there are dozens and dozens of varieties of cancer and its unacceptable we had officers and firefighters not getting coverage for cancers that their job may have caused. I have championed this bill for years and I am thrilled we are finally getting it done.
