Provides tax credits equal to the cost of the issuance of fishing and hunting licenses to volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers
This bill (S 6624) provides a New York state tax credit equal to the cost of fishing and hunting licenses for volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers. Specifically, it covers the cost of "small and big game licenses" and fishing licenses for these volunteers, as defined by existing benefit laws. The tax credit directly affects eligible volunteer emergency service workers who pay for these licenses. It does not provide free licenses but reimburses the cost through a tax credit. The bill amends environmental conservation law to add this provision, effective immediately.
