Placing a limited moratorium on new municipal fire fees imposed on non-municipal residents

This bill places a one-year pause on new fire protection fees that municipalities can charge to residents and businesses located outside their city limits. Effective from June 30, 2024, until June 30, 2025, local governments are prohibited from implementing any new charges for fire services for these non-residents, though they may still adjust existing fees. The law specifically targets the ability of towns to impose additional costs on people living in unincorporated areas or on the outskirts of cities, while allowing municipalities to continue collecting fees that were already in place before the start of the moratorium.
