Gov. Chris Sununu said he intends to sign a bill that passed the House last week to allow firefighter cancer treatment benefits to be funded through worker’s compensation. Senate Bill 541 comes 28 years after a law was ruled unconstitutional that stated certain cancers are presumed to be work-related for firefighters, leaving firefighters with cancer to pay many of their costs out of pocket. Bill McQuillen, president of the Professional Fire Fighters of New Hampshire and a Portsmouth fire captain, said the bill would satisfy the call from firefighters for coverage funding as firefighters are considered to be at a higher risk of cancer than the general public. The state Supreme Court ruled the presumptive cancer law was unconstitutional in 1990 because the New Hampshire Constitution prohibits state mandates on municipalities without a set funding mechanism.
