Bill heading to Gov. Stitt's desk proposes cancer screenings for all Oklahoma firefighters

A bill heading to the office of Gov. Stitt would cover the costs of occupational cancer screenings for Oklahoma firefighters.

Lawmakers say the Fighting Chance for Firefighters Act would add municipal and county firefighters to the Oklahoma Health Care Authority's insurance plans.

If Stitt signs the bill into law, it would take effect on Nov. 1.
