Provides pay per call and paid on call stipends for volunteer firefighters and travel expense reimbursement for call response

Summary

The bill adds a new section to the General Municipal Law so cities, towns, villages or fire districts can set up pay‑per‑call and paid‑on‑call stipend programs for volunteer firefighters. It limits payments to a nominal amount, requires training and physical‑exam standards, and lets firefighters opt out. The measure also clarifies that these stipends do not count as remuneration under existing volunteer‑firefighter benefit laws.
