Establishes an alternative method for forming fire protection districts in Washington.

Allows cities or towns to establish fire protection districts by resolution, subject to voter approval, with boundaries matching the city or town's corporate limits. This method aims to prevent taxing districts from maintaining maximum tax levies and to protect future levy capacity. Employees transferring from the city or town fire department to the fire protection district retain their rights, benefits, and privileges. The resolution must include a financing plan and be approved by voters.
