Bill > SB2931

This bill amends the Decennial Committees on Local Government Efficiency Act, which is a law designed to review and improve the efficiency of local government operations. Specifically, it clarifies the definition of a "governmental unit" for the purposes of this Act. Previously, a "governmental unit" generally referred to entities that levy taxes and are considered units of local government, excluding municipalities and counties. This bill adds an exception, stating that a "governmental unit" under this Act will *not* include a fire protection district, which is a special district established to provide fire suppression and emergency services. This change means that fire protection districts will not be subject to the review and efficiency assessments mandated by the Decennial Committees on Local Government Efficiency Act.
