The Board of Commissioners also approved a motion to provide cancer insurance coverage for county firefighters as required by House Bill 146. Fire Chief Scott Blue explained the coverage and recommended going with the Association County Commissioners of Georgia. “The legislation passed this last year and we’re required to have this by Jan. 1,” Blue said. There are two components to the bill. One is for a payout in the event of determination of cancer for a firefighter and the other is a long-term disability.
