Summary
The bill allows local authorities having jurisdiction over volunteer fire departments and fire companies to provide financial stipends to volunteer firefighters. Volunteer firefighters would be eligible to receive pay-per-call stipends for responding to emergency calls and paid on-call stipends for standby services. The measure applies to volunteer fire departments and companies in counties, cities, towns, villages, and fire districts throughout New York. This would authorize municipalities to compensate volunteer firefighters for their emergency response work and on-call availability.
