S 9546 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to the purposes and duties of the Mount Kisco firefighter's benevolent association and the use of foreign fire insurance premium taxes

This bill amends the laws governing the Volunteer and Exempt Firefighter's Benevolent Association of Mount Kisco to clarify its membership rules, purposes, and financial duties. It defines eligibility for membership to include current and former active volunteer firefighters who have not been removed for cause, while ensuring that those with less than five years of service lose their membership if they withdraw from the fire department. The legislation authorizes the association to collect foreign fire insurance premium taxes from properties within the Mount Kisco fire protection area and mandates that these funds be used exclusively to provide relief, aid, and support for disabled, indigent, or injured volunteer members and their families. Although the law takes effect immediately, the specific provisions regarding tax collection apply only to premiums received on or after January 1, 2025.
