Arizona HB2231 presumes certain cancers in firefighters and fire investigators as occupational diseases.

Arizona HB2231 amends the state's workers' compensation laws to presume certain cancers in firefighters and fire investigators as occupational diseases. This presumption applies to cancers such as brain, bladder, rectal, colon, kidney, prostate, skin, stomach, ovarian, breast, testicular, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, multiple myeloma, malignant melanoma, adenocarcinoma, and mesothelioma of the respiratory tract. The presumption can be rebutted with clear and convincing evidence of a specific cause other than occupational exposure to a carcinogen.
