TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend chapter 658 of the laws of 1978 relating to incorpo-
ration of the Lewiston No. 1 Volunteer and Exempt Firemen's Benevolent
Association, in relation to its purpose and the use of foreign fire
insurance premium taxes

 
PURPOSE:

To authorize the Lewiston Volunteer Firefighters" Benevolent Association
No.1 to provide the relief, aid and assistance of members and their
families who are injured.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 3 is amended to change the purpose of the association to provide
the relief, aid and assistance of such members and their families who
are inured, disabled or indigent. To promote and safeguard the welfare
of the volunteer members of the corporation and their families; to

provide for the health and safety of the volunteer members of the corpo-
ration and to enhance the morale of the volunteer members of the corpo-
ration by providing social and recreational activities for the volunteer
member of the corporation.

section 7 is amended to fix a technical error

JUSTIFICATION:

Volunteer firefighters perform dangerous duties each and every day in
our communities. They offer reliable protection to our health, well

years of service.

These changes were requested by the Port Jefferson Volunteer Firemen's

of the Cold Spring Harbor Fire Benevolent Association in 2018 and the
revision of the existing association in North Tarrytown in 2019.
