New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed into law Saturday a bill that quadruples tax credits for volunteer first responders.The bill, passed unanimously by the State Senate and Assembly earlier this year, raises the annual tax credit for volunteer firefighters and volunteer ambulance workers from $200 to $800. The benefit for married joint filers rose from $400 to $1,600.Joseph Ostapiuk reports in NEWSDAY that the signing delivered a legislative win for fire officials who say greater incentives are needed to stave off significant declines in the ranks of volunteer firefighters. The statewide force has declined one-third from 120,000 in the early 2000s to around 80,000, fire officials have said. While the decrease has stabilized in recent years, advocates said more has to be done to recruit young volunteers.Volunteer fire and elected officials said the tax-credit legislation will help retain firefighters and EMS members in departments on Long Island.Donald Farrell, president of the Firefighters Association of the State of New York, called the bill a "tremendous victory for New York's volunteer fire and EMS service.” Other recent bills aimed at improving volunteer recruitment and retention include legislation signed last year phasing out PFAS forever chemicals in firefighter protective equipment and extending the ability of fire department-run ambulances to recover costs of service from insurance companies through 2031.Improving incentives for volunteer first responders is needed to ensure there are enough people to respond to calls across the state, said Billy Theis, chairman of the Nassau and Suffolk Fire Districts Legislative Committee. A 2023 Firefighters Association of the State of New York (FASNY) analysis found a statewide paid firefighter service would cost $4.7 billion annually, triggering significant property tax increases."When we get the call, somebody's in trouble," Theis said before the bill signing. "We have to have the tools, we have to have the people to be there."***A New York-based pediatric health network and an IT management company will pay $2.7 million to New York and Connecticut after a data breach that impacted hundreds of thousands of residents, New York State Attorney General Letitia James' office said Friday.Brianne Ledda reports in NEWSDAY that James and Connecticut Attorney General William Tong secured the settlement from Boston Children's Health Physicians, which has two locations in Suffolk County, Long Island - Smithtown and Miller Place - and from XTIUM, which provided network security services to Boston Children's Health Physicians {BCHP}. The companies will pay $2.1 million to New York and $540,000 to Connecticut. Besides the payout, the settlement also requires the companies to strengthen data security and for BCHP to pay additional sums to the states if it does not comply.Impacted residents will have fraud alert coverage through the settlement, a state spokesperson said."Institutions trusted with sensitive private health data have a critical responsibility to protect it from bad actors," James said in a news release. "BCHP knew its data security features were inadequate but did not fix them, exposing the information of hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers to hackers."In an August 2024 breach, hackers accessed 18 of XTIUM's client networks, including BCHP's, stealing records for around 825,000 New York and 62,871 Connecticut residents, the state said. The stolen information included the Social Security and driver's license numbers of more than 170,000 New York residents.***The Express News Group’s Express Sessions series returns this coming Thursday, October 22, with a conversation on deer and tick control to identify solutions to reduce ecological damage and tickborne illness.Titled “Out of Control: How the East End Can Get a Grip on Deer & Tick Populations,” Thursday’s event will run from 12 noon to 2 p.m. at The American Hotel in Sag Harbor over lunch.The panel will include North Haven Village Trustee Claas Abraham, East Hampton Town Councilman Tom Flight, Dr. Sandeep Gandhi of the Regional Tick-Borne Disease Center at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, New York State Assemblyman Tommy John Schiavoni and Michael Tessitore of Suffolk County Deer Management.Visit ExpressSessions102226.eventbrite.com for further info and to purchase a ticket.***At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, the seemingly endless number of people critically ill or killed by the disease had cast many Long Island healthcare professionals on the front lines into emotional despair and anguish.It had become clear to the leaders of health systems across the region that many physicians, nurses and other medical staff needed to get a handle on their mental health amid a medical crisis like none they'd seen before.John Asbury reports in NEWSDAY that the burnout rate among physicians and nurses — already at the crisis stage before the pandemic began in 2020 — has continued to spike in the years ...
