ACES Act

Bill 119 s 201, also known as the "Aircrew Cancer Study Act," aims to conduct a comprehensive study on the prevalence and mortality rates of cancer among individuals who served as active duty aircrew in the Armed Forces. The study will be carried out by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

The purpose of this study is to gather data and information on the potential health risks and impacts of serving as aircrew in the military, specifically focusing on the occurrence of cancer among this population. By conducting this study, lawmakers hope to gain a better understanding of the potential health hazards faced by active duty aircrew members and to identify any patterns or trends in cancer prevalence and mortality rates within this group.

The bill emphasizes the importance of ensuring the health and well-being of military personnel, particularly those who may be at higher risk for certain health conditions due to their service. By conducting a thorough study on the prevalence and mortality of cancer among active duty aircrew members, policymakers can make informed decisions on how to best support and protect the health of these individuals. Overall, the Aircrew Cancer Study Act seeks to provide valuable insights into the health outcomes of military personnel and to inform future policies and initiatives aimed at improving the health and well-being of those who serve in the Armed Forces.
