BILL NUMBER:S3301
Title of bill
An act to amend the education law, in relation to requiring schools to allow fire departments to make a recruitment presentation in a high school
Purpose or general idea of bill
This legislation is intended to help fire department recruit new junior members within local schools.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 amends the education law by adding a new section 807-e: Fire department recruitment. The principal of any high school shall allow any local fire department, upon request, to enter the school for the purpose of fire department junior recruitment, including, but not limited to: making presentations; disseminating literature, and answering questions from students.
Section 2 allows the act to take effect the first of July next succeeding the date on which it shall have become law.
Justification
It is important for the future of volunteer fire departments across New York State to begin recruiting new members as soon as they become eligible to join. This legislation would allow any local volunteer fire department to give presentations, distribute literature, or develop any marketing technique necessary to recruit junior members in high school. Establishing a connection with young adults early, provides for the opportunity for a long and successful career as a volunteer firefighter.
