§ 159-a. Inclusion on the fallen firefighters memorial. In the case of
a death of a firefighter, regardless of whether such death occurred
before, on, or after the effective date of this section, that results
from services performed in the line of duty, as determined by an
authoritative agency including, but not limited to, the workers'
compensation board, the federal Department of Justice, or the office of
fire prevention and control, the name of that firefighter shall be
inscribed upon the New York state fallen firefighters memorial on the
Capitol Mall in Albany. The fallen firefighters memorial selection
committee shall amend its election criteria so that it is not in
conflict with the provisions of this section.
