What it does

This bill concerns benefits relating to members of the municipal fire and police retirement system (411 system). The bill expands the definition of “cancer” by striking references to specific cancers and inserting a more generalized description. By expanding the definition of “cancer” to include more cancer diagnoses, the bill likewise expands the availability of accidental disability and death benefits to members of the 411 system who have a cancer diagnosis.3.2, subsection 3, which would relieve a political subdivision from complying with a state mandate if funding for the cost of the state mandate is not provided or specified.
