AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Municipal Code by creating a new requirement specifically for municipalities with populations over 500,000. The bill mandates that these municipalities must set aside 10% of the funds they receive from private insurance companies for ambulance or fire services into a dedicated account. These set-aside funds can only be used for purchasing and maintaining emergency service vehicles such as ambulances and fire engines. Importantly, the bill excludes certain types of funds from this requirement, specifically those received through public health programs like Medicaid and Medicare, as well as funds from liability claims, settlements, judgments, excess insurance payments, or self-insurance reserves. The purpose of this bill appears to be ensuring that municipalities have a consistent funding mechanism for maintaining and upgrading their emergency service vehicle fleet, with a focus on using insurance reimbursements directly related to those services.
