Volunteer firefighters in New Jersey become eligible for reimbursement for cancer screening examinations after five years of service, with subsequent screenings available every three years thereafter

Required screenings cover 11 cancer types including colon, lung, bladder, oral, thyroid, skin, blood, breast, cervical, testicular, and prostate cancers

Reimbursement is capped at $1,250 per three-year period, adjusted annually for inflation based on the Consumer Price Index for Medical Care, with no co-payments, deductibles, or out-of-pocket expenses

The tax on fire insurance premiums paid by out-of-state insurance companies increases from 2% to 2.1%, with the additional 0.1% dedicated to funding the screening reimbursement program

A nonlapsing revolving fund is established in the Department of Community Affairs to administer reimbursements to volunteer firefighters
