Summary

This New York law permits the principal of any high school to allow local fire departments to enter the school for the purpose of fire department junior recruitment activities. When a fire department requests to visit, the principal may authorize their entry to conduct recruitment activities with students. These activities may include making presentations to students, distributing recruitment literature, and answering student questions about fire department careers and opportunities. The law does not mandate that schools must host fire department recruitment; it simply authorizes principals to permit such visits upon request. The law becomes effective July 1 following its enactment.
