What this bill would do

The bill is known as the Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act of 2025. It amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to provide public safety officer benefits for exposure-related cancers. The legislation creates a presumption that public safety officers who are exposed to carcinogens while on the job and later develop certain cancers have sustained a personal injury in the line of duty. It establishes a specific list of covered exposure-related cancers and requires the Director of the Bureau to review and update this list periodically. The bill also sets rules for handling petitions to add new forms of cancer to the list and outlines the timeline for how far back claims can be filed. Finally, it includes updates to information confidentiality rules and technical corrections regarding line of duty actions.
