MODERATE

This bill amends a New York law that incorporates the Rescue Volunteer and Exempt Firemen's Benevolent Association, updating its purposes and adding a new section about collecting fire insurance premium taxes. The changes clarify the association's specific purposes and establish a mechanism for collecting and using fire insurance taxes to benefit volunteer fire members in a specific fire district.

Scope change

The bill now specifically names the Rescue Volunteer Hose Company No.1 of the Walden Fire District No.2 in the town of Cheektowaga, county of Erie, narrowing the geographic scope from general volunteer fire service to a specific fire district.

SCOPE

The bill's geographic scope was narrowed to specifically include the Walden Fire District No.2 in Cheektowaga, Erie County, rather than applying broadly to all volunteer fire services.

FISCAL

A new Section 7 was added to authorize the corporation to collect fire insurance premium taxes under Insurance Law section 9104 and receive shares of taxes under section 9105 for use in furthering the association's purposes.

ELIGIBILITY

The purposes section was rewritten to more clearly specify that benefits apply to volunteer members and their families who are disabled, indigent, or injured in the performance of their duties.

TIMELINE

The effective date was modified to apply new amendments to section 7 to taxes due on premiums received on or after January 1, 2026.
