Beginning October 1, 2026, Connecticut broadens the firefighter definition used for cancer relief and related laws. It includes local fire marshals, deputy marshals, fire investigators, fire inspectors, and other inspector or investigator classes covered by state qualification standards. It also includes uniformed members of paid municipal, state, or volunteer fire departments and the Connecticut Airport Authority. Uniformed members serving Tweed-New Haven Airport or entities contracting with its airport authority are included too. By October 1, 2026, and annually afterward, the Treasurer must report on the cancer relief account and both relief programs. Working with the Connecticut State Firefighters Association, the Treasurer must report the account balance, projected and actual program spending, and projected and actual account income sources. Reports go to the program advisory committee and the legislature’s labor and public employees committee. If the account approaches insolvency, the Treasurer must notify municipalities paying compensation, the Governor’s Office, the Workers’ Compensation Commission, and that legislative committee. The law also repeals section 7-313k and removes it from the definition’s coverage; the supplied text does not explain any resulting benefit changes.
