Michigan lawmakers may add former firefighters as qualified recipients for benefits under the state’s 2014 firefighter cancer presumption law, less than one year after lawmakers made volunteer firefighters eligible.
HB 6360, introduced by Rep. Jeffrey Yaroch, R-Richmond, on Wednesday, would also make eligible for benefits full-time, part-time, paid on-call, volunteer or former forest fire officers or fire/crash rescue officers.
The bill was sent to the state House of Representatives Rules and Competitiveness Committee.
