Area State Lawmaker Unveils Legislation to Help Volunteer First Responders with Property Taxes

January 24, 2022 by Jeff Lewis

An area state lawmaker is looking to make it easier for volunteer first responders to afford living here in Rockland. Assemblyman Mike Lawler unveiled new legislation at a press conference at the Orangeburg Volunteer Fire Department on Friday. Lawler says while some counties across the state offer their first responders a ten percent discount on their property taxes, if they live in Rockland they’re only entitled to get $200 off…

Lawler’s bill would give volunteer first responders a 100 percent property tax reduction, another, one more likely to pass, Lawler says, would provide ten percent, similar to a bill that was just signed by the governor for Monroe County. Rockland’s Director of Fire and Emergency Services Chris Kear likes the plans and is hopeful they’ll be passed and signed by the governor…

Lawler is hoping to amass broad support for the bills in both in the Assembly and the Senate.
