Summary of New York Assembly Bill A 3672 (Relates to special districts for ambulance services and to volunteer firefighter and ambulance services staffing)

Overview

  • Bill number: A 3672
  • Title / focus: Relates to special districts for ambulance services and to volunteer firefighter and ambulance services staffing
  • Sponsor: Billy Jones (primary)
  • Introduced: January 29, 2025
  • Current status: ENACTING CLAUSE STRICKEN (not enacted)

What the bill would do (based on the title)

  • The bill’s subject matter covers two related areas:
    • Establishment, governance, or regulation of special districts that provide ambulance services.
    • Staffing requirements or guidelines for volunteer firefighters and ambulance services.
  • The exact provisions, including how districts would be formed, governed, funded, and how staffing requirements would be set or enforced, are not provided in the available summary. The title indicates an intended framework connecting ambulance service delivery via special districts and the staffing of volunteer fire/EMS services.

Who would be affected

  • Local governments and municipalities that might form or participate in ambulance service special districts.
  • Volunteer firefighters and ambulance services that operate within or could be organized into such districts.
  • Residents within jurisdictions considering or governed by these districts who would rely on ambulance services and related staffing standards.

Procedural history and timeline

  • January 29, 2025: Bill introduced and referred to Local Governments committee.
  • September 8, 2025: The bill’s status shows ENACTING CLAUSE STRICKEN (listed twice), indicating the enacting clause was removed in a manner that prevents the bill from becoming law in its current form.
  • The repeated “ENACTING CLAUSE STRICKEN” actions suggest the bill did not advance to enactment despite prior committee referrals.

Related bills

  • A 9147 (prior-session)
  • A 2419 (prior-session)
  • These prior-session bills likely address similar topics related to ambulance services, special districts, or staffing for volunteer fire/EMS services.

Potential impact if enacted (hypothetical)

  • If enacted in a future version, the bill could:
    • Create or authorize special districts tasked with delivering ambulance services.
    • Establish staffing standards or requirements for volunteer firefighters and ambulance personnel within those districts.
    • Affect funding mechanisms, governance structures, and operational responsibilities for ambulance and fire service providers.
    • Require coordination between local governments and volunteer entities to implement district-based ambulance services.

Next steps / reader guidance

  • As of now, A 3672 has not become law due to the enacting clause being struck. Readers interested in reform of ambulance services or volunteer staffing may want to monitor for new or reintroduced legislation in this area, including updates to A 9147 or A 2419 and any changes to the proposed framework for special districts and staffing.
