New YorkCaughdenoy fire department would be exempt from nonresident membership cap
If it becomes law, Caughdenoy Volunteer Fire Department would be exempt from the 45% nonresident membership cap while keeping service and approval requirements.
What it does
Caughdenoy Volunteer Fire Department would be exempt from the 45% cap on members living outside its service area. Those volunteers would still need to be available for service and meet town approval and department rules.
Argument forThe exemption could help Caughdenoy staff its department with available volunteers who live outside the area it protects.
Argument againstThe exemption could allow Caughdenoy to depend heavily on volunteers who live outside the area it protects.
More detail
Caughdenoy Volunteer Fire Department would be exempt from the 45% cap on nonresident members. The cap covers members living outside both the department’s own territory and areas it protects under a fire protection contract. Nonresident volunteers would still need to be available for active service because they live nearby or because of their usual work. Membership would remain subject to town approval rules and the department’s own rules. The exemption would take effect immediately if the bill becomes law.
