Gov. signs bill increasing tax abatement for volunteer emergency responders

Any municipality offering property tax relief for a nonsalaried local emergency management director, volunteer firefighter, fire police officer, EMT, paramedic, civil preparedness staff, active member of a volunteer canine search and rescue team, volunteer underwater search and rescue team, or ambulance driver--can increase the benefit.  Governor Lamont has signed a bill into law cosponsored by Danbury Representatives Bob Godfrey and Ken Gucker, Steve Harding of Brookfield, Ridgefield Representative John Frey and Bill Buckbee of New Milford to increase the amount from $1,000 to $1,500.  It also applies to the abatement offered to a retired volunteer firefighter, fire police officer or EMT who completed at least 25 years of service as a volunteer firefighter, fire police officer or EMT in the municipality.
