New York State Assemblywoman Sandy Galef and Senator Elijah Reichlin-Melnick announced that their bill, A7752/S07021, was signed into law by Governor Cuomo and is now Chapter 385 of the 2021/2022 State laws. The new legislation takes effect immediately.
State law requires that the percentage of non-resident fire department members not exceed forty-five percent of the membership. This bill allows the Briarcliff Manor Fire Department to be exempt from this requirement.
