BILL NUMBER:S7011
Title of bill
An act to amend the village law, in relation to the application of certain provisions of law relating to non-resident members of the village of Blasdell volunteer fire department
Purpose
This bill allows the percentage of non-resident volunteer members to exceed forty-five percent of the actual membership of the village fire department of Blasdell, New York.
Summary of provisions
Section 1 amends subdivision 7 of section 10-1006 of the village law which forbids the percentage of non-resident volunteer members in village fire companies to exceed forty-five percent of the actual membership of the fire company. The amendment exempts the village of Blasdell, New York volunteer fire department from the requirements of subdivision 7.
Section 2 states that this law shall take effect immediately.
Justification
Currently, village law forbids the percentage of non-resident volunteer members in village fire companies to exceed forty-five percent of the actual members fire company. This negatively impacts village fire companies by making it more difficult to fill their total membership and leaving fire companies with vacancies which could be filled by the membership of non-resident volunteer firefighters. This bill allows the percentage of non-resident volunteer members to exceed forty-five percent of the actual membership of the village of Blasdell volunteer fire department. This will help the fire department obtain greater membership and keep its community safer.
