        AN ACT to amend the general municipal law, in relation to ensuring  paid
          employees  of  a  county  airport  or county aviation department which
          perform fire response or fire rescue duties  are  eligible  for  equal
          benefits as other paid firefighters
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 207-a  of  the  general  municipal
     2  law,  as  amended by chapter 476 of the laws of 2018, is amended to read
     3  as follows:
     4    1. Any paid firefighter which term as used in this section shall  mean
     5  any  paid officer or member of an organized fire company or fire depart-
     6  ment of a city of less than one million population, or town, village  or
     7  fire  district,  or  any  paid  employee  of  a county airport or county

     9  who  is  injured in the performance of his or her duties or who is taken
    10  sick as a result of the performance of his or her duties so as to neces-
    11  sitate medical or other lawful remedial treatment, shall be paid by  the
    12  municipality  or  fire  district by which he or she is employed the full
    13  amount of his or her regular salary or wages until his or her disability
    14  arising therefrom has ceased, and, in  addition,  such  municipality  or
    15  fire  district  shall  be  liable for all medical treatment and hospital
    16  care furnished during such disability.  Provided, however, and  notwith-
    17  standing  the foregoing provisions of this section, the municipal health
    18  authorities or any physician appointed for the purpose  by  the  munici-
    19  pality  or fire district, may attend any such injured or sick firefight-
    20  er, from time to time, for the purpose of providing medical, surgical or

                                                                   LBD10185-04-0

     2  district shall not be liable for salary or wages payable to such a fire-
     3  fighter,  or  for  the  cost  of  medical  or hospital care or treatment
     4  furnished,  after  such date as the health authorities or such physician
     5  shall certify that such injured or sick firefighter has recovered and is
     6  physically able to perform his or her regular duties in the  company  or
     7  department.  Any  injured or sick firefighter who shall refuse to accept
     8  such medical treatment or  hospital  care  or  shall  refuse  to  permit
     9  medical inspections as herein authorized, including examinations result-
    10  ing  from  the application of subdivision two hereof, shall be deemed to
    11  have waived his or her rights under this section in respect to  expenses
    12  incurred for medical treatment or hospital care or salary or wages paya-
    13  ble after such refusal.
    14    Notwithstanding  any  provision  of law to the contrary, a provider of
    15  medical treatment or hospital care furnished pursuant to the  provisions
    16  of  this  section  shall not collect or attempt to collect reimbursement
