 IN SENATE

 May 14, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by Sen. C. RYAN -- read twice and ordered printed, and when
 printed to be committed to the Committee on Corporations, Authorities
 and Commissions

 AN ACT to amend the not-for-profit corporation law, in relation to
 exempting the Liverpool Fire Department from the requirement that the
 percentage of non-resident fire department members not exceed 45
 percent of the membership

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

 1 Section 1. Subparagraph 3 of paragraph (c) of section 1402 of the
 2 not-for-profit corporation law, as amended by chapter 369 of the laws of
 3 2025, is amended to read as follows:
 4 (3) In towns outside of villages and fire districts, the consent of a
 5 majority of the members of the town board to the formation of a fire
 6 corporation shall constitute an appointment of the persons named in the
 7 certificate of incorporation as town firefighters. Thereafter, other
 8 eligible persons may be elected as members pursuant to the by-laws of
 9 the fire corporation, but the election of a member must be approved by
 10 the town board of each town which consented to the formation of the fire
 11 corporation. Such a person shall be a resident of the territory speci-
 12 fied in the certificate of incorporation or of territory outside such
 13 boundaries which is afforded fire protection by the fire corporation
 14 pursuant to a contract for fire protection under which a cash consider-
 15 ation is received by the corporation or for which negotiations for
 16 renewal of such a contract are pending. The membership of any volunteer
 17 member shall terminate when such member ceases to be a resident of such
 18 inside or outside territory, except that the corporation may authorize
 19 their continued membership where such member notifies the secretary of
 20 the fire corporation (a) that they plan to change their residence to a
 21 territory which is not in such inside or outside territory, and (b) that
 22 by reason of such member's residence in the vicinity or such member's
 23 usual occupation they will be available to render active service as a
 24 volunteer firefighter in either such inside or such outside territory.
 25 Voting for such authorization shall be pursuant to the by-laws. Such
