SB 2432, named the “Wade Cannon Act,” amends the Local Government Code to mandate that political subdivisions employing firefighters provide periodic occupational cancer screenings. Specifically, screenings must be offered at no cost to firefighters in their fifth year of employment and every three years thereafter. Screenings are to include tests for various types of cancer, such as colorectal, prostate (if applicable), lung, and brain cancers. The screenings are to be kept confidential, and the bill’s provisions are set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
