Governor Lombardo has signed into law a bill restoring lung health protections for Nevada's active and retired first responders.
Senate Bill 7 was introduced in last month's special session, quickly passing both legislative chambers within days.
In a statement, the Professional Fire Fighters of Nevada say, "SB 7 is not political, it is about protection. It’s about the firefighter who can’t breathe after decades of service. It’s about the retiree who served fearlessly and retired knowing we have his/her back. It’s about families who shouldn’t have to fight for coverage after their loved one served Nevada."
“This is a monumental win,” said the PFFN Executive Board. “Governor Lombardo’s signature sends a clear message: Nevada stands with its protectors not just in words, but in action. The job causes illness. The state must stand behind its heroes.”
