Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act in relation to authorizing the town of Malta, county of Saratoga, to adopt a local law providing for a partial abatement of town taxes for volunteer firefighters and volunteer ambulance workers
Purpose or general idea of bill
This legislation would exempt Town of Malta volunteer emergency services personnel from paying Town emergency services tax.
Summary of specific provisions
The town of Malta will provide a partial tax abatement of town taxes to volunteer firefighters and volunteer ambulance workers. This act would eliminate the town emergency services tax for volunteer firefighters and volunteer EMS.
Justification
Volunteer firefighters and ambulance company workers in the Town of Malta provide a valuable service to members of the community. These workers absorb many costs over the years including training and cost of being certified and recertified. This exemption will help offset those costs and also encourage more local residents to become members of these volunteer organizations since they would receive a more meaningful benefit against their taxes.
