FIRE Cancer Act of 2025
Introduced Feb 26, 2025 by Rep. Josh Gottheimer
It's waiting on a committee vote to reach the full chamber. Most bills never leave this stage.
This bill expands the Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA's) Assistance to Firefighters Grant program for fire departments and emergency medical services organizations to include cancer prevention programs (e.g., multi-cancer early detection testing) for firefighting personnel. It also establishes a joint cancer research program between FEMA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) through which firefighting personnel may voluntarily share the anonymized results of preventative cancer testing so the CDC can study trends or causes of cancer in such personnel.
Summary by the Congressional Research Service.
No floor votes yet — it hasn't reached the floor of either chamber.
