🚨 Parents & Caregivers! Is your child’s car seat installed correctly? 🚨

The reality is that 3 out of 4 car seats are used incorrectly, and most parents don’t even realize it.

• Infant seats
• Convertible seats
• Booster seats

No matter your child’s age, we’re here to help give you peace of mind.

🚨 Legislative Update

Volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers are the backbone of our communities, and they deserve support that reflects the critical role they play in keeping New Yorkers safe.

I’m proud to announce that the New York State Legislature has passed my legislation, S.6233A, alongside A.6790, which increases the state income tax credit available to eligible volunteer firefighters and ambulance workers to $800 beginning with tax year 2026.

The legislation also authorizes, under certain conditions, a property tax exemption for eligible volunteer fire and ambulance service members residing in the local jurisdiction.

As volunteer recruitment and retention challenges continue across New York, this legislation is an important step toward recognizing the dedication, sacrifice, and service of those who answer the call when their communities need them most.

The bill has now passed both houses of the Legislature and awaits the Governor’s review and signature before it can become law.

Thank you to our volunteer first responders for your unwavering commitment and service.
