2021 New York Laws WKC - Workers' Compensation Article 10 - Workmen's Compensation Act for Civil Defense Volunteers 301 - Declaration of Policy and Legislative Intent.

§ 301. Declaration of policy and legislative intent.  The president of   the  United  States  on  December  sixteenth,  nineteen  hundred  fifty,   proclaimed a state of national emergency. The governor of this state, in   a special message to the legislature on January eighth, nineteen hundred   fifty-one, recommended a program for the defense of the  people  of  our   state and the safeguarding of property against attack.  In order to make   effective necessary measures of civil defense, many of our citizens will   voluntarily  undertake  to  perform civil defense duties and may, in the   event of attack, be exposed to injury in the performance  of  authorized   civil defense duties they voluntarily assumed as a patriotic service for   the common good.Those  who  volunteer  to  perform  civil  defense duties deserve some   protection  for  themselves  and  their  families  in  the  event   that   disability  or  death should be incurred while they are performing these   duties.  No  such  benefits  have  yet  been  provided  by  the  federal   government.  Accordingly  it  is hereby declared to be the intent of the   legislature that special workmen's compensation benefits, as provided in   this article, should be made available for civil defense  volunteers  in   this state.
