The bill modifies provisions relating to a service fee charged by a fire protection district. It allows the district to charge businesses or individuals, and their insurance company, for fire protection services unless the insurance explicitly excludes such coverage. The bill also outlines the district's powers, including the ability to adopt ordinances, borrow money, and provide benefits to volunteer firefighters. The maximum charge for responding to a fire call or alarm is set at one hundred dollars, and two hundred fifty dollars per hour for employees, engineers, and attorneys.
