Relates to the appointment of fire chiefs and assistant chiefs

This bill amends New York Town Law to allow fire districts to appoint fire chiefs and assistant chiefs who are already employees of the district. It requires nominees to be current fire department members, prohibits those convicted of arson from holding these positions, and permits districts to change annual nomination meetings from April to December or September (with specific date options for certain districts like Davis Park or Cherry Grove). The board of fire commissioners may also require these officers to be residents of the fire district. These changes streamline appointments while maintaining safety and residency standards.
