AN ACT to amend the not-for-profit corporation law, in  relation  to  an

  THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section  1.  Subparagraph  3  of  paragraph (c) of section 1402 of the
not-for-profit corporation law, as amended by chapter 351 of the laws of
2000, is amended to read as follows:
  (3) In towns outside of villages and fire districts, the consent of  a
majority  of  the  members  of the town board to the formation of a fire
corporation shall constitute an appointment of the persons named in  the
certificate  of incorporation as town [firemen] FIREFIGHTERS.  Thereaft-
er, other eligible persons may be elected as  members  pursuant  to  the
by-laws  of  the  fire corporation, but the election of a member must be
approved by the town board of each town which consented to the formation
of the fire corporation. Such a person shall be a resident of the terri-
tory specified in the  certificate  of  incorporation  or  of  territory
outside  such  boundaries  which is afforded fire protection by the fire
corporation pursuant to a contract for fire  protection  under  which  a
cash  consideration  is received by the corporation or for which negoti-
ations for renewal of such a contract are pending. The membership of any
volunteer member shall terminate when he OR SHE ceases to be a  resident
of  such  inside  or  outside territory, except that the corporation may
authorize his OR HER continued membership where he OR SHE  notifies  the
secretary of the fire corporation (a) that he OR SHE plans to change his
OR  HER  residence to a territory which is not in such inside or outside
territory, and (b) that by reason of his OR HER residence in the vicini-
ty or his OR HER usual occupation he OR SHE will be available to  render
active  service  as  a  volunteer  [fireman]  FIREFIGHTER in either such
inside or such outside territory. Voting for such authorization shall be
pursuant to the by-laws. Such authorization shall not  become  effective
unless  approved  by  resolution  of  the  town board of each town which
