Illinois HB3597 allows municipalities and fire protection districts to charge fees for nonemergency calls.
HB3597 amends the Fire Departments and Protection Division of the Municipal Code and the Fire Protection District Act to allow municipalities and fire protection districts to set, charge, and collect reasonable fees for nonemergency calls. These are calls for ambulance or emergency services that do not involve a threat to life, health, or property and do not correspond to any billing code for emergency response services. The bill defines "nonemergency calls for services" and specifies that these fees can be charged for any response, time, or services provided to residents.
