Summary

This bill exempts the Caughdenoy Volunteer Fire Department, Inc., located in Central Square, Oswego County, from a statewide restriction on volunteer fire department membership. New York law currently limits volunteer fire departments to having no more than forty-five percent of their members be non-residents. This exemption would allow the Caughdenoy department to accept a higher percentage of non-resident volunteers. The bill appears to be a local measure addressing specific staffing needs or circumstances of that particular fire department.

AI-generated plain-language summary of the bill (from the OpenStates abstract — no full text available yet) — neutral, and may be imperfect.
