SUMMARY
This amendment removes from the list of cancers both kidney and bladder cancer.
As drafted Committee Amendment "A" simply requires a firefighter to have been employed as such for 5 years and to have "regularly" responded to firefighting and emergency calls. This amendment replaces the phrase "regularly responded to firefighting or emergency calls" with the phrase "participated in the extinguishment of at least 100 fires."
