Expands a federal fire safety law to fund cancer prevention for firefighting personnel. It authorizes FEMA to award grants that pay for multi-cancer early detection (MCED) tests or other preventive screenings for firefighters, with a cap on how much can be spent per test.
Creates a voluntary, anonymized data‑sharing program jointly run by FEMA and the CDC to study cancer trends among firefighters. The program protects privacy and aims to improve prevention and early detection strategies based on nationwide evidence.
Referred to the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology.
