Bill Summary
Amends the Fire Protection District Act. Provides that the board of trustees of a fire protection district may, by majority vote of the board of trustees, adopt a resolution to transfer moneys from the fire protection district's ambulance service fund to another fund controlled by the fire protection district if (1) the fire protection district has not approved another transfer from the fire protection district's ambulance service fund under the provisions in the same year; (2) the moneys remaining in the fire protection district's ambulance service fund after the transfer are sufficient to pay for the remaining obligations and costs payable from the district's ambulance service fund in the current and subsequent fiscal years; and (3) the transfer does not impair the fire protection district's finances or public safety mission, including, but not limited to, emergency medical services, ambulance services, rescue services, fire suppression services, or any other public safety endeavor established by the fire protection district. Effective immediately.
AI Summary
This bill allows the board of trustees of a fire protection district, which is a local government entity responsible for providing fire and emergency services, to transfer money from its ambulance service fund to another fund it controls. This transfer can only happen if the board votes for it, and it's not the only transfer from the ambulance fund in that year. Crucially, enough money must remain in the ambulance fund to cover all current and future expenses related to ambulance services, and the transfer must not negatively impact the district's overall financial health or its ability to provide essential public safety services like emergency medical care, ambulance transport, rescue operations, or firefighting.
