AI Summary

This bill adds new provisions to existing law to allow for the division of a fire protection district and the process for holding elections to divide a district. Specifically, the bill outlines the procedure for a fire protection district board to propose dividing the district into two districts, including requirements for a resolution outlining the new district boundaries, asset and debt allocation, and commissioner election process. The bill also provides for an election process where 10% of electors can petition for a division vote, with a majority vote in favor resulting in the district being divided without further objection. Overall, this bill gives fire protection districts more flexibility to divide their jurisdiction if they determine it would be advantageous.
