Michigan lawmaker proposes adding former firefighters to presumption law
Reprints
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.
H.B. 6350, introduced 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 House Rules and Competitiveness Committee.
