Firefighter Heart Benefits Trust

The bill removes the ability of a firefighter employer to select accident insurance, self-insurance, or a self-insurance pool as options to provide statutorily required monetary benefits to a firefighter who has experienced a heart and circulatory malfunction. As a result, a firefighter employer must participate in a multiple employer health trust in order to provide such benefits.
