Broader funding uses for Hauppauge firefighter association
The revised funding rules cover taxes due on insurance premiums received on or after January 1, 2026. The association receives all foreign fire insurance premium taxes under Insurance Law section 9104 for areas the Hauppauge department must protect, including its Smithtown and Islip territory. It also receives a section 9105 tax share based on insurance business written in that area; its collector has fire-department treasurer powers and duties. The money can support only the association's purposes under section 3, replacing the limit to helping disabled or needy volunteer firefighters and their families. The law sets no funding amount or direct household payment.
Updated membership rules for Hauppauge firefighters
The law immediately renames the group the Hauppauge Volunteer Exempt Firefighter's Benevolent Association and sets its membership rules. Past, current, and future volunteer members of the district's fire department or fire corporations are eligible. Legally exempt volunteers living in the district or an area served by a fire protection agreement also qualify. People expelled or removed for cause from a fire company or department may be barred. Non-exempt members lose membership if they leave the district or their area stops receiving fire protection. Joining at formation requires notifying the fire department secretary before the organization meeting or attending it, with eligibility governed by the bylaws.
