West Babylon firefighter association would spend insurance taxes on its purposes

The association would have to use its fire insurance tax money for its legally defined purposes. This rule covers the association’s share of fire insurance taxes from the territory served by the West Babylon volunteer fire department. The allowed purposes are those listed in section 3 of the association’s founding law. If enacted, the spending rule would apply to taxes due and premiums received on and after January 1, 2027.

A nine-member board would manage the association’s money, property, and affairs. The board would include the president, vice president, secretary, treasurer, and five other association members serving as trustees. Members would elect the officers and trustees at the annual meeting under the association’s internal rules. This provision would take effect immediately upon enactment.
