Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend chapter 606 of the laws of 2006 amending the volunteer firefighters' benefit law relating to creating a presumption relating to certain lung disabilities incurred by volunteer firefighters, in relation to the effectiveness of such chapter

AI Summary

This bill amends a previously passed law (Chapter 606 of 2006) related to volunteer firefighters' benefits, specifically extending the sunset date for a provision that creates a presumption about certain lung disabilities for volunteer firefighters. The key change is to modify the expiration date of the original law from June 30, 2025 to June 30, 2030, effectively giving the current legal provision an additional five years before it would be automatically repealed. This type of legislative extension ensures that volunteer firefighters continue to have a legal presumption that supports their ability to claim benefits for lung-related disabilities, which are often considered work-related due to the hazardous nature of firefighting. The bill takes effect immediately upon passage, allowing for a seamless continuation of the existing legal framework that provides protections and benefits to volunteer firefighters.
