Relates to the use of taxes collected by the Exempt Firefighters' Benevolent Association of Hastings-on-Hudson, Inc.

This bill allows the Exempt Firefighters' Benevolent Association of Hastings-on-Hudson to use tax funds collected from fire insurance premiums for specific purposes related to volunteer firefighters. Instead of using the money solely for indigent members and their families, the bill expands allowable uses to include maintaining a headquarters, providing aid to disabled or injured volunteers, and funding social and recreational activities to boost morale. The legislation applies to taxes collected on insurance premiums received on or after January 1, 2025, and requires the association to continue remitting a portion of these funds to the state Firefighters Association as mandated by existing insurance laws.
