The Comma Bill That Saved Firefighters

A missing comma in Arizona’s state law was leaving firefighters diagnosed with adenocarcinoma without critical workers’ comp coverage—forcing them to battle both cancer and insurance companies. Senate Bill 1215, dubbed the “comma bill,” clarifies that adenocarcinoma is covered regardless of location, after one firefighter spent over a year fighting for approval. Despite last-minute industry pushback, lawmakers passed it 26-1 in the Senate. Now headed to the governor, this fix ensures first responders aren’t left fighting for their lives twice.
