BILL NUMBER: S7186

SPONSOR: BROOKS
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the general municipal law and the town law, in relation
to authorizing fees and charges for emergency medical services

 
PURPOSE:

The purpose of this bill is to allow fire departments the option to
recover costs when providing emergency medical services.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. amends subdivision 4 of section 209-b of the General Munici-
pal Law to remove the prohibition on a fire department's ability to
recover costs for emergency medical services. Further, this section
provides language to ensure that advanced life support services are
compensated for services rendered.

Section 2. amends subdivision 1 of section 122-b of the General Munici-
pal Law to comply with section 1 of this law.

Section 3. amends subdivision 1 of section 184 of to comply with section
1 of this law.

Section 4. is the enacting clause.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Currently volunteer fire departments and districts that provide emergen-
cy medical services are unable to recover costs for the service that
they provide. In recent years, a variety of factors have placed great
strain on the resources of these services. As a result, many volunteer
fire departments and districts have been forced to stop offering ambu-
lance service to their communities.  New York State is the only state in
the union which prohibits fire departments from recovering any costs for
emergency medical services.  This bill will correct that by simply
offering departments the option to recuperate costs of this noble
service.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

No fiscal impact

 
LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

A savings to fire districts / departments

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall have
become law and shall apply to health care claims submitted on or after
such date.

BILL NUMBER: S7186A      REVISED 01/31/22

SPONSOR: BROOKS
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the general municipal law and the town law, in relation
to authorizing fees and charges for emergency medical services

 
PURPOSE:

The purpose of this bill is to allow fire departments to charge for
providing emergency medical services, which at this time is prohibited.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1. this bill amends section 209-b (4) of the General Municipal
Law to remove the prohibition of fire department emergency medical bill-
ing.

Section 2. amends. section 122-b (1)(e) of the General Municipal Law to
comply with section 1 of this law.

Section 3. amends section 184(1) of the town law in order to authorize
contracting with fire department emergency medical service units.

Section 4. is the enacting clause.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Paragraph 4 of section 209-b of the General Municipal Law prohibits any
ambulance service which is run as part of a fire department from charg-
ing a fee for such service. Every other emergency medical provider in
the state is allowed to charge for such service. If enacted, this bill
would simply allow fire departments to recover costs for services
rendered. The ever-increasing costs of state mandates, coupled with
increases in equipment and personnel costs have led many municipality
and volunteer ambulance providers to charge for this very costly
service. If the ambulance is provided through a police department, ambu-
lance department, volunteer ambulance corps, or even contracted with a
proprietary/for-profit service, a fee can be charged. However, if the
service is rendered by a fire department, no fee may be charged. This
legislation would not require any fee to be established, but would offer
municipalities and volunteer fire companies the opportunity to recover
these ever increasing, mandated costs.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

No fiscal impact

 
LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

No fiscal impact

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect on the ninetieth day after it shall have
become law, and shall apply to health care claims submitted on or after
such date.
