Establishes special districts for general ambulance services in Adirondack park areas and mandates a report on volunteer firefighter and ambulance.

New York A09337 amends the general municipal law to allow counties, cities, towns, or villages within the Adirondack park to establish special districts for general ambulance services. It also requires the commissioner, in consultation with the state office of fire prevention and control, to prepare a report on the staffing of volunteer firefighter and ambulance services in New York state. The report, due by January 1, 2027, will examine staffing challenges and issues, particularly in rural areas and regions with geographic challenges, and will recommend solutions to these issues.
