Florida H4071 regulates the transition of fire rescue and emergency medical services in Palm Beach County during municipal annexations.

Florida H4071 mandates that Palm Beach County's municipal service taxing unit, which provides fire rescue and emergency medical services, remains the service provider for eight years to annexed properties. The annexing municipality must pay Palm Beach County an annual service price for up to eight years. The county retains jurisdiction to collect certain fees from annexed properties. The transition of services and cessation of county jurisdiction to collect fees may be adjusted based on data and analysis from negotiations between the county and the annexing municipality.
