Arizona HB2689 amends the public safety cancer insurance policy program to clarify eligibility criteria for retirees. To qualify for covered benefits, a person must be an active or retired member of the public safety personnel retirement system or corrections officer retirement plan. The bill specifies that a person is not eligible if there is evidence that the cancer existed before their membership or participation. Retirees can continue to receive benefits if they make an election with the board and pay fifty percent of the premium cost.
