Broader association membership for Brockport volunteer firefighters

The law renames the group the Brockport Exempt Volunteer Firefighters’ Benevolent Association, Inc., and broadens membership access. Active Brockport Fire District volunteers can join, including members of its department or district fire companies. People removed for cause, expelled, or dropped from a department or company cannot join unless reinstated. Membership ends when active volunteer service ends before the member earns exempt firefighter status through district service. The law takes effect immediately.

More support options for Brockport firefighters

The association’s expanded purposes include helping injured, disabled, or needy members and families, supporting health and safety, and offering social activities. It also maintains headquarters, builds ties among members, and supports volunteer fire service within the district’s service area. For taxes due on insurance premiums received on or after January 1, 2026, collected foreign fire insurance taxes can support any association purpose. The funding includes a related tax share and covers Brockport village, Sweden town in Monroe County, and territory the district must or may have to protect. The law sets no dollar amount and guarantees no individual payment or service.
