Bill Summary

AN ACT to amend the general municipal law, in relation to the establishment of special districts for general ambulance services; and to amend the executive law, in relation to a report on volunteer firefighter and ambulance services staffing

AI Summary

This bill allows counties, cities, towns, or villages, individually or jointly, to establish special districts for general ambulance services, following procedures similar to those for establishing fire districts, and requires that any pre-existing local district serving the same area be dissolved. Additionally, it mandates that by January 1, 2027, the commissioner, in consultation with the state office of fire prevention and control, will produce a report examining the challenges and issues related to staffing for volunteer firefighter and ambulance services across New York State, with a specific focus on rural and geographically challenging areas, and will also provide recommendations to address these issues to state leadership.
