N.Y. Town Law § 178-a: Expenses incurred in attending town and county officers training school

§ 178-a. Expenses incurred in attending town and county officers

training school. The actual and necessary expenses incurred by a fire

district officer or person duly elected as a fire district officer, in

attending a course of training for his respective office as provided by

the town and county officers training school of the state of New York

for the purpose of improving the administration of municipal affairs in

the town and counties of the state, shall be a charge against the fire

district of which he is an officer or officer-elect. No person, however,

shall be allowed such expenses for attending a regional school unless

his district shall be included within the area of such region as

established by the board of trustees of the town and county officers

training school of the state of New York. The board of fire

commissioners, in lieu of auditing and allowing the claim of a fire

district officer or officer-elect for actual and necessary expenses for

travel in attending any such course of training, may determine by

resolution to allow and pay such officer or officer-elect a reasonable

mileage allowance for the use of his own automobile for each mile

actually and necessarily traveled by him in attending such course of

training.
