N.Y. Workers' Compensation Law § 316: Record of enrollment

§ 316. Record of enrollment. Each local director of civil defense

shall maintain a record of enrollment of civil defense volunteers who

are personnel of the volunteer agencies sponsored by his local office.

Each record shall contain the name and address of the volunteer, the

name of his employer, date of enrollment and authorized classification

or assignment to duty, including the times of his assigned duty, as well

as changes in or termination of enrollment. Such record shall be

maintained in duplicate and the duplicate records shall be filed in

separate places for greater security in the event of attack.

Records of enrollment shall be open for inspection during usual

business hours by the chairman or by an officer or employee of the board

designated by the chairman. The local director shall furnish to the

chairman on request such information in the record of enrollment as is

required for administration of this article.

In the event of attack, actual or imminent, for which volunteers in

any part of the area under the jurisdiction of a local director are

mobilized, the local director shall forthwith deliver to the chairman

one of such duplicate records of enrollment.

If the civil defense volunteers enrolled by a local office shall, in

accordance with a mutual aid agreement approved by the New York state

civil defense commission, respond to a request for assistance from any

place, either within or without the state, which has suffered attack,

and shall perform therein authorized civil defense duties, the local

director shall forthwith deliver to the chairman one of such duplicate

records of enrollment.

The information contained in such record of enrollment delivered to

the chairman shall be prima facie evidence of information on which the

chairman may rely in paying claims of civil defense volunteers or their

dependents under this article; and if such record is not delivered to

the chairman as required by this section, the burden of proving his

right to compensation under this article in the case of civil defense

volunteers of the local office shall rest on the claimant.
