This bill modifies rules for city council members serving as volunteer fire department chiefs and establishes funds for emergency services equipment.

This bill allows city council members to serve as chiefs of volunteer fire departments, with certain voting restrictions. It also mandates that cities deposit into specific funds any payments, awards, judgments, or insurance settlements for damaged emergency services equipment, rather than the general fund. Cities can establish additional funds or reserve savings accounts for major equipment purchases, with remaining funds at year-end deposited into a reserve savings account.
