Report
Summary
The Fire Fighter Cancer Insurance Policy Program (FFCIPP) was established in 1997.

The insurance is administered under the PSPRS. In 2007, HB2268 changed the name of the Fire Fighter Cancer Insurance Policy Program to the Fire Fighter and Peace Officer Cancer Insurance Policy Program and extended coverage to certified peace officers under this program.
Financial Impact
The cost for FY2021-22 is $50 per peace officer; this item requests authorization to pay up to $145,300. This payment will provide cancer insurance coverage for Police sworn personnel for FY2021-22.
