 AN ACT to authorize the town of Hamburg to extend the Big Tree fire
 protection district into the village of Blasdell

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of article 11 of
 2 the town law, commencing upon the effective date of a resolution adopted
 3 by the board of trustees of the village of Blasdell, in the county of
 4 Erie, pursuant to section 10-1020 of the village law abolishing the fire
 5 department in such village, the town board of the town of Hamburg, in
 6 accordance with the procedures set forth in subdivision 2 of section 170
 7 of the town law, shall have the power to extend the Big Tree fire
 8 protection district, located in the town of Hamburg to include and
 9 encompass the entire corporate limits of the village of Blasdell in such
 10 town.
 11 § 2. Upon the completion by the town of Hamburg of the proceedings
 12 authorized by section one of this act, the fire protection district in
 13 the town as extended shall be a fire protection district governed by the
 14 provisions of section 184 of the town law, and the town board of such
 15 town shall have all of the powers and duties vested in and imposed on
 16 town boards by section 184 of the town law, and shall be subject to all
 17 of the limitations, procedures and restrictions set forth in such
 18 section.
 19 § 3. On and after the completion of the proceedings authorized by
 20 section one of this act, the not-for-profit fire corporation incorpo-
 21 rated as the "Big Tree Volunteer Firemen's Company, Inc." shall maintain
 22 its corporate existence and may maintain apparatus and facilities within
 23 the village of Blasdell for the furnishing of fire protection if it
 24 chooses. Such continued presence in the village of Blasdell shall not
 25 render such fire corporation to be the fire department of such village,
 26 nor shall it render such fire corporation to be under the control of the
 27 village authorities pursuant to paragraph (e) of section 1402 of the
 28 not-for-profit corporation law, provided, however, that for purposes of

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets

 1 paragraph (e) of section 1402 of the not-for-profit corporation law,
 2 such fire corporation shall be under the control of the town of Hamburg.
 3 § 4. The completion by the town of Hamburg of the proceedings author-
 4 ized by section one of this act shall be deemed to occur when the town
 5 adopts a resolution extending a fire protection district as required by
 6 subdivision 2 of section 170 of the town law; provided, however, that
 7 nothing in this act shall be construed as relieving the town of Hamburg
 8 from complying with the provisions of subdivision 1 of section 173 of
 9 the town law.
 10 § 5. This act shall take effect immediately.
