EXPLANATION
9
The
inclusion
of
this
explanation
does
not
constitute
agreement
with
10
the
explanation’s
substance
by
the
members
of
the
general
assembly.
11
This
bill
concerns
benefits
relating
to
members
of
the
12
municipal
fire
and
police
retirement
system
(411
system).
13
The
bill
expands
the
definition
of
“cancer”
by
striking
14
references
to
specific
cancers
and
inserting
a
more
generalized
15
description.
16
By
expanding
the
definition
of
“cancer”
to
include
more
17
cancer
diagnoses,
the
bill
likewise
expands
the
availability
of
18
accidental
disability
and
death
benefits
to
members
of
the
411
19
system
who
have
a
cancer
diagnosis.
20
The
bill
may
include
a
state
mandate
as
defined
in
Code
21
section
25B.3.
The
bill
makes
inapplicable
Code
section
25B.2,
22
subsection
3,
which
would
relieve
a
political
subdivision
from
23
complying
with
a
state
mandate
if
funding
for
the
cost
of
24
the
state
mandate
is
not
provided
or
specified.
Therefore,
25
political
subdivisions
are
required
to
comply
with
any
state
26
mandate
included
in
the
bill.
