AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Municipal Code by adding a new requirement for municipalities with populations over 500,000 to establish a dedicated account for emergency vehicle funding. Specifically, these municipalities must set aside 10% of the funds they receive from insurers for ambulance or fire services in a separate account. The funds in this dedicated account can only be used for purchasing and maintaining ambulances, fire engines, and other emergency service vehicles. Importantly, these funds are supplemental and cannot replace existing vehicle funding. The bill also includes a provision that prevents home rule units (local governments with self-governing powers) from creating regulations that conflict with this state-level requirement. This provision is designed to ensure consistency in emergency vehicle funding across large municipalities in Illinois, with the goal of maintaining and improving emergency service vehicle infrastructure.
