This bill modifies the authorized uses of a township fire protection levy to include constructing a fire station.

This bill amends the Code to allow township trustees to allocate up to $0.30 per $1,000 of assessed property value annually into a reserve account for fire protection and emergency services. The reserved funds can now be used to purchase or replace supplies and equipment, and also to construct a fire station. The bill specifies that interest earned on these reserved funds should be credited back to the reserve account.
