   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 379 of  the  laws
 of 2021, 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  firefighters.  Thereafter,  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 territory speci-
 fied 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  consider-
 ation  is  received  by  the  corporation  or for which negotiations 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 territo-
 ry,  and  (b)  that by reason of his or her residence in the vicinity or
 his or her usual occupation he or she will be available to render active
 service as a volunteer 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
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
