This legislation acknowledges the heroic work done everyday by public safety dispatchers, emergency responders, emergency operators, emergency complaint operators and emergency services dispatchers by legally designating these individuals as "First Responders in communications" Moreover the bill encourages employers to provide training to maintain and enhance the knowledge, skills and proficiency of these dedicated public servants.
In accordance with NYSPEC's policy with respect to issuance of legislative support or opposition memoranda, if I do not receive any response opposing the issuance of a support memo by close of business June 17, 2021, I will direct that the memo be issued.
You are not required to respond to this notice unless you oppose the issuance of the memo.
You can also send memos of support for this bill on your own letterhead.
In Unity,
Peter D. Meringolo
NYSPEC
