 AN ACT to amend the tax law, in relation to a credit for hunting and
 fishing license fees for volunteer firefighters and volunteer ambu-
 lance workers

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

 1 Section 1. Section 606 of the tax law is amended by adding a new
 2 subsection (e-3) to read as follows:
 3 (e-3) Volunteer firefighters' and ambulance workers' hunting and fish-
 4 ing license fee credit. (1) Allowance and amount of credit. A resident
 5 taxpayer who serves as an active volunteer firefighter as defined in
 6 subdivision one of section two hundred fifteen of the general municipal
 7 law or as a volunteer ambulance worker as defined in subdivision four-
 8 teen of section two hundred nineteen-k of the general municipal law, and
 9 who has served as such for the previous twelve consecutive months, may
 10 claim a tax credit against the tax imposed by this article in the amount
 11 of any fees paid for hunting and/or fishing licenses, privileges, tags
 12 and permits issued pursuant to title seven of article eleven of the
 13 environmental conservation law. In order to receive this credit a volun-
 14 teer firefighter or volunteer ambulance worker must have been active for
 15 the entire taxable year for which the credit is sought.
 16 (2) Application of credit. If the amount of the credit shall exceed
 17 the taxpayer's tax for such year the excess shall be carried over to the
 18 following year or years, and may be deducted from the taxpayer's tax for
 19 such year or years.
 20 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately and shall apply to taxable
 21 years beginning on and after January 1, 2026.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
