A 7167 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to childcare and dependent care reimbursement for volunteer members of public bodies

This bill requires municipalities to reimburse volunteer members of public bodies (such as school boards or community committees) for actual childcare and dependent care expenses incurred while attending official meetings or performing duties. Volunteers must submit documentation of these costs to their municipality for reimbursement. It amends existing laws to explicitly include childcare and dependent care as allowable expenses for unpaid public service roles. The policy directly affects unpaid volunteers who face caregiving costs while fulfilling public service obligations.
