     1    Section 1. Section 209-i of the general municipal law  is  amended  by
     2  adding a new subdivision 1-b to read as follows:
     3    1-b.  In  the  event that an active volunteer firefighter or volunteer
     4  ambulance worker provides services under subdivision one of this section
     5  when there is no jurisdictional officer in command present, such  volun-
     6  teer  firefighter  or  volunteer  ambulance  worker shall be entitled to
     7  coverage under the volunteer firefighters' benefit law or the  volunteer
     8  ambulance  workers'  benefit  law  during  the  time  such  services are
     9  rendered. Coverage under the volunteer firefighters' benefit law or  the

    10  volunteer  ambulance  workers'  benefit law shall not be provided if the
    11  fire company, ambulance company or  municipality  the  volunteer  serves
    12  adopts  a  resolution  prohibiting  coverage  for  the provision of such
    13  services. Upon arrival of a  jurisdictional  officer  in  command,  such
    14  officer  shall  accept  or  decline  further  services at which time the
    15  volunteer shall be entitled to benefits  in  the  manner  set  forth  in
    16  subdivision one of this section.
    17    § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
