Yesterday, the # PFFAZ-supported bill, HB 2641, sponsored by Rep. Sarah Liguori, moved through the Rules Committee and is set for a COW vote soon. This bill expands the existing prohibition on the use of class B firefighting foam containing intentionally added PFAS chemicals by applying the restriction to all uses, instead of limiting it to training and testing. Thus reducing firefighters’ exposure to carcinogens. Please follow along as this bill progresses.

Yesterday, the # PFFAZ-supported bill, SB 1215, sponsored by Sen. Payne, (Glendale) commonly referred to as “The firefighter comma bill,” was passed out of the Senate Finance Committee with a vote of 6-1. This vital piece of legislation strengthens the current presumptive cancers from being denied by bad actors, over a simple comma. Please share and follow along as this bill progresses.

Today, SB 1504 was introduced on the Arizona Senate Floor.

As members of the Arizona Public Safety Alliance, which includes our partners from law enforcement—APA, FOP, and AZCOPS—Special thanks to Senator David Gowan for sponsoring SB 1504: PSPRS, Service Requirement, and Cost-of-Living Adjustment.

This bill ensures that firefighters and police officers receive their earned benefit upon retirement. It would also reduce the COLA waiting period in retirement from seven years to three years.

We will continue to provide updates on this important Tier 3 legislation, and how you can help.

With the 57th Arizona State Legislature’s Second Session beginning last week, your has prepared a short video showing how a bill becomes a law in Arizona.

Bills are extremely fragile along the path to becoming law and can die or advance at any stage in the process. PFFA legislative staff have already become involved in bills that will either harm or help the firefighters of Arizona, who put themselves in harm’s way to protect the public and property. We will provide updates on bills as they progress and explain how you can help.

Yesterday, your and others honored firefighters and paramedics who lost their lives in the line of duty, as well as those who succumbed to occupational cancer. We remain committed to recognizing their service, sacrifice, and legacy. Thank you to everyone who attended and to all who support our mission to protect and honor Arizona’s firefighters.

Your PFFA, together with our partners at the Arizona Public Safety Alliance, has begun discussions and agreed on language to implement significant enhancements for Arizona police officers and firefighters in Tier 3.

The PFFA extends our deepest sympathies and condolences to the family of Brother Kevin Thompson (KT) and to the members of Glendale Firefighters Local 493 on the loss of Brother Thompson today. Our hearts are with all those affected by KT’s death, after a courageous battle with occupational cancer. Brother Thompson’s death will be recorded as a Line of Duty Occupational Cancer death. Rest easy brother, and thank you KT.

January is Fire Fighter Cancer Awareness Month. More than 79% of line-of-duty deaths are related to cancer, and firefighters have a higher risk of cancer than the general public.

Arizona PSPRS trustee and team member Brian Moore recently spoke with ABC15 about expanded cancer insurance benefits for retired firefighters and police. This change will greatly support our retired members who risked their lives for the communities they served and help them stay covered into retirement.
