The fund created by H.B. 416 would be governed by an 11-member board that would be required to consult with firefighters, fire departments and workers compensation insurers on a study of funding mechanisms. The board would also be asked to study mechanisms for distributing funds in a way that reduces workers compensation premiums for policies covering firefighters and provides funding for a firefighter diagnosed with a presumptive cancer “before a workers compensation claim is processed.” Recommendations resulting from the study would be due Dec. 1. The Senate voted 29-0 to pass the bill Friday after it was amended to eliminate proposed language that would have directed the board’s study to include a consideration of coordinating benefits between the trust and work comp system, including an assessment of whether and how to limit double recovery. The state House of Representatives on Friday voted 58-0 to concur in the Senate amendments. WorkCompCentral is a sister publication of Business Insurance. More stories here .
