Updates the Pound Ridge Volunteer Exempt Firemen's Benevolent Association's charter
This bill updates the charter of the Pound Ridge Volunteer Firefighters' Benevolent Association, correcting its name from "Firemen's" to "Firefighters'" and clarifying membership rules. It specifies that only active volunteer firefighters who qualify as "exempt volunteers" under state law (per General Municipal Law §200) may join, and membership ends if they leave the fire department. The bill also updates how the association collects fire insurance premium taxes for the local fire department, requiring these funds to support member welfare and safety programs as outlined in the charter. These changes apply to taxes due on premiums paid after January 1, 2026.
