  benefit  law,  any proprietary ambulance service, or any other ambulance
  or emergency  medical  service  providing  emergency  medical  care  and
  transportation  of  sick  or  injured persons to health care facilities,
  shall notify every  new  applicant  for  emergency  medical  technician,
  paramedic,  certified  first responder applicant, or any other applicant
  who would be  responsible  for  providing  emergency  medical  care  and
  transportation  of  sick  or  injured persons to health care facilities,
  including applicants seeking to transfer from one ambulance  company  or

  company or service shall determine whether or not such person  shall  be
  eligible  to  be  elected  or  otherwise  appointed  as a member of such
  ambulance  company  or  service.  Such  determination  shall   be   made
  consistent  with article twenty-three-A of the correction law and a copy
