Bill > HB4360

This bill amends the 1988 PA 57 act, which allows two or more municipalities to incorporate an authority for the purpose of providing emergency services to the incorporating municipalities. The key provisions of this bill include: 1. Allowing an authority to serve only a partial area within an incorporating municipality, rather than the entire municipality. This means an authority's jurisdiction can be limited to a specific geographic area within the incorporating municipalities. 2. Requiring the articles of incorporation for the authority to be published on the website of each incorporating municipality, or in the clerk's office if a website is unavailable. 3. Specifying that if the authority's jurisdiction does not include all the taxable property within each incorporating municipality, the authority can levy a tax on all the taxable property within its jurisdiction, but cannot be funded under the provisions of Section 13 of the existing law. Overall, this bill provides more flexibility for authorities to serve only a portion of the incorporating municipalities, while also requiring greater transparency around the establishment of these authorities.
