Governor Hochul has approved legislation expanding tax credits for New York’s volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers, recognizing their essential contributions during emergencies. The new measure aims to ease financial burdens by increasing refundable credits for those who respond to calls without compensation. Supporters argue the policy will help sustain critical local emergency services that rely heavily on unpaid personnel. Details on the credit amounts and eligibility criteria remain pending as the law takes effect.
