NY Fire Patrol still alive...

[bklyndisp54]

Last summer, the Fire Patrol bill overwhelmingly passed the NYS Senate and was delivered to the Assembly.  Instead of allowing a vote, the Assembly leadership decided to refer the bill to a committee, where it sat and died when the Assembly adjourned for the rest of the year.

Now, NYFP supporters in both the NYS Assembly and Senate have expressed interest in re-introducing the Fire Patrol legislation in the new session of the legislature.  It is expected that certain changes will be made in the bill to avoid opposition previously heard from the insurance industry lobby.

This is something that should be closely followed and letters should be written to members of the State Senate and Assembly at the appropriate time.  Thanks for posting this, bklyndisp54.
