Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the tax law, in relation to providing tax credits to volunteer firefighters and volunteer ambulance workers under certain circumstances
Purpose of bill
Provide tax credit to volunteer firefighters and volunteer ambulance workers under certain circumstances.
Summary of provisions
Volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers who have completed all required training courses as required by the State of New York would be granted a $200 credit against New York State personal income tax.
Justification
It is estimated that volunteer firefighters and volunteer ambulance workers save New York State taxpayers well in excess of one billion dollars annually. Each year it becomes more difficult to recruit new volunteers. The cost of this program would be far less costly than to utilize paid members.
