clarifying the march 31st deadline

Yesterday a question came in about the March 31st deadline in the New York State law. I thought it would be worth clarifying here again.

The NY State General Municipal Law requires that the fire company submit the list of members of the fire company identifying those volunteers that earned 50 points during the calendar year to the sponsoring political subdivision by March 31st. This listing must be certified under oath. 

That does not mean that the listing has to be submitted to your vendor by March 31st. It means the fire company simply has to have the data compiled and submitted to the sponsoring board by that date.
