Bill > A00352

This bill amends the Insurance Law to change the distribution of the foreign and alien fire insurance premium tax. Beginning on the effective date of the law, the amount received from the tax shall be distributed to the fire companies in proportion to the number of active members within each company. An "active member" is defined as a member who participates in firefighting and is subject to call for duties assigned under the fire department's rules and regulations. The bill aims to ensure the fair distribution of the tax revenue among fire companies based on the number of active firefighters.
