Title of bill
An act to amend the town law, in relation to the process of selling surplus fire equipment and vehicles
Purpose
This bill establishes new regulations for the sale and purchase of new fire equipment.
Summary of provisions
Section one of this bill provides that the fire district may sell or otherwise dispose of real and personal property that still holds value, but is no longer necessary to the district, provided that the proceeds are put toward a new apparatus and the sum of the value does not exceed twenty thousand dollars.
Section two of this bill states that this act shall take effect immediately.
Existing law
Subdivision 23 of Section 176 of the Town law of New York State allows for fire districts to sell their valuable, but unnecessary, equipment provided that the proceeds are used to new equipment and the sum of the value does not exceed ten thousand dollars.
Justification
Under current town law, municipalities are hampered with red tape and onerous regulations when selling outdated fire equipment. This legislation has specific provisions in place to protect taxpayers from being taken advantage of, while removing many of the bureaucratic hoops that municipalities have to jump through, in order to sell outdated equipment.
Legislative history
None.
Fiscal implications
None to the state.
Effective date
This act shall take effect immediately.
