AN ACT directing the New York state continuing legal education board  to
  adopt  regulations  permitting  attorneys to earn continuing education
  credits for uncompensated legal services  to  veterans  and  volunteer
  emergency responders

  THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  Section 1. The New York state continuing legal education board, estab-
lished pursuant to 22 NYCRR 1500, is authorized and directed to  promul-
gate  regulations  providing  that an attorney may earn continuing legal
education credits by performing  uncompensated  legal  services  to  any
veteran of the armed forces of the United States or any active volunteer
emergency responder, regardless of such veteran's or volunteer emergency
responder's  income,  in  the  same manner in which an attorney may earn
continuing legal education credit for uncompensated  legal  services  to
individuals unable to afford counsel pursuant to a program accredited by
the  continuing legal education board under 22 NYCRR 1500.22(j). For the
purposes of this act, the term  "volunteer  emergency  responder"  shall
mean  an  active  member  of a volunteer fire company and/or a voluntary
ambulance service as such terms are defined in section 100 of the gener-
al municipal law.
  S 2. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
it shall have become a law.



 EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                      [ ] is old law to be omitted.
