Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act Reintroduced in the Senate

On January 23, 2025, Senators Amy Klobuchar (MN) and Kevin Cramer (ND) reintroduced the Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act (S.237). This bipartisan legislation aims to protect firefighters and their families by ensuring that firefighters diagnosed with certain cancers linked to their service are covered under the Public Safety Officers’ Benefits (PSOB) Program.
