S 6654 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Creates a volunteer firefighter training fund; appropriation

This bill establishes a state-funded "volunteer firefighter training fund" to help cover costs for volunteer fire departments. It appropriates $1 million from the general fund to reimburse municipalities for training expenses they've already paid. Volunteer fire departments can apply for these funds through their local fire chief, using money from the new fund after legislative approval. The fund is managed by the state comptroller and tax commissioner, with payments made via standard state financial processes. The bill directly supports volunteer fire departments across New York State in providing required training.
