AN ACT ALLOWING MUNICIPALITIES TO PAY A PORTION OF A VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER'S PROPERTY TAX LIABILITY TO ANOTHER MUNICIPALITY.

HB 6653 allows a municipality that uses a volunteer firefighter's services to pay a portion of that firefighter's property tax liability to the municipality where the firefighter resides. It directly affects volunteer firefighters who live in a different town than where they serve. The bill creates a mechanism for the service municipality to make this payment to the resident municipality, covering part of the firefighter's property tax bill. This policy change aims to support volunteer firefighters by easing their tax burden when serving outside their home municipality.
