   *Gov. Reynolds signs bill to expand firefighter cancer coverage*  DES MOINES— Today, Governor Kim Reynolds signed _HF 969 [ [link removed] ]_, a bill that expands the definition of cancer for the Peace Officers’ Retirement System and 411 Retirement System to include all types of cancer.    “The selflessness of our first responders is inspiring and deserves our deepest gratitude. This means thanking them for their service, but it also means ensuring they receive the care they need,” Gov. Reynolds said. “Today, gaps in coverage threaten to force some of our first responders to choose between getting the treatment they need and providing for their families. This bill will change that by expanding the definition of cancer for the Peace Officers’ and 411 Retirement Systems to cover all forms of the disease. I'm grateful to our legislators and key stakeholders for getting this much-needed reform across the finish line.”     # # #
