Exempts the Varna Volunteer Fire Company, Inc., within the town of Dryden, Tompkins county from the forty-five percent limit on non-resident members

This bill exempts the Varna Volunteer Fire Company in Dryden, Tompkins County from a statewide rule that limits non-resident members to 45% of a fire corporation's total membership. The law generally requires volunteer firefighters to live in the area they serve or in regions protected by the company's contract, but it allows specific organizations to have more non-resident members if the town board approves. By removing this restriction for Varna, the legislation enables the company to recruit and retain volunteers who live outside the immediate service area without violating state not-for-profit corporation laws. The change takes effect immediately upon the governor's signature and applies only to this specific fire company.
