Illinois HB3479 requires a referendum before a municipality with 500 or more residents can cease its ambulance department operations.
Illinois HB3479 amends the Illinois Municipal Code to mandate that a municipality with 500 or more residents must hold a referendum before ceasing the operation and maintenance of its ambulance department. If a majority of votes favor dissolution, the court will order the department's discontinuation. The bill ensures that the rights of employees, as provided by the Personnel Code, collective bargaining agreements, or pension, retirement, or annuity plans, remain unaffected. It also limits the home rule powers of municipalities.
