NY State Senator Simcha Felder’s Hatzalah bill (S8031A) was passed unanimously in the NYS Senate yesterday.

The bill protects operators and owners of first-response emergency vehicles from liability for the monetary penalties of certain traffic infractions that occur while responding to a medical emergency.

“Every single one of us is grateful to the members of Hatzalah for their selfless, lifesaving work,” Felder told Matzav.com. “They are heroes! 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without a break, nothing stops them from rushing to help in an emergency. Who would have thought that with all they sacrifice, one of the biggest challenges they face here in New York City is the rising number of camera tickets generating piles of violations on a daily basis? I am so gratified that, together with my colleagues in Albany, today my bill was passed to help the Hatzalah volunteers who help us every day.”
