What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Governor Kathy Hochul signed legislation that quadruples the state’s personal income tax credit for eligible volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers. Under the new law, the credit increases from $200 to $800 for individuals and from $400 to $1,600 for married couples. The state leaders hope the larger incentive will help address a statewide shortage of volunteers.
