Bill > A07731

This bill makes a minor amendment to village law regarding the authority of village boards of trustees to modify certain sections of law related to volunteer fire companies. Specifically, the bill changes the existing language to clarify that village boards of trustees may not adopt a local law changing, amending, or superseding the section in question, with an exception for subdivision seven of that section. While the bill's text is quite technical and sparse, it appears to be aimed at maintaining consistent regulations for village fire company volunteer members by limiting the ability of local boards to make widespread changes to the existing legal framework. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, which is typical for local government procedural modifications.
