A 9694 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Designates officers and members of a fire investigation unit as peace officers in Franklin county

This bill designates Franklin County fire investigation unit officers as peace officers when performing duties related to fire investigations, extinguishment, and fire perils. It grants them the authority to enforce fire-related laws within their specific responsibilities under the county's fire department. However, the bill explicitly states they cannot carry or possess firearms without a separate license issued under penal law. This change affects only Franklin County fire investigators during fire-related official actions.
