Kansas HB2024, known as the Fighting Chance for Firefighters Act, offers a tax credit for firefighters who incur unreimbursed medical expenses for screening for occupation-related cancer. The credit applies to certain cancers with higher risks for firefighters and any medical procedures to detect cancer. For tax year 2025, the credit is up to $250 per year, with a total cap of $1,500,000 for all firefighters. If the cap is exceeded, a percentage adjustment is applied for the following year. The credit is not refundable and can be carried over for up to five years.
