A bill for an act relating to certain emergency services provided by a city.

HSB 98 modifies rules for city emergency services. It clarifies that volunteer firefighters and emergency medical care providers may receive small payments or benefits while holding compatible city offices, and allows current city council members to serve as volunteer fire department chief with council approval (requiring them to abstain from voting on their own appointment). The bill establishes a dedicated fund for police, fire, rescue, and emergency medical equipment, requiring insurance payouts for damaged equipment to be deposited into this fund rather than the city's general budget. Cities may also transfer leftover funds to a reserve account for future equipment purchases, with specific rules for handling reimbursements from general fund spending.
