Currently, a nomination and declaration of candidacy for the director or board member of a fire protection district requires the payment of a filing fee. This bill removes the filing fee requirement.
The bill prohibits a fire protection district from adopting any ordinances, orders, rules, or regulations related to the subdivision of land for residential purposes or to the construction or installation of improvements or infrastructure or utility facilities related to serving residential construction.
A fire protection district may enter into a contract with a county, city, town, or village to assist in the implementation of a residential construction regulatory system as it relates to fire protection issues so long as the county, city, town, or village retains jurisdiction of the implementation and enforcement of the system.
If a county, city, town, or village has not adopted a building code or other residential construction regulatory system and the county, city, town, or village is under the jurisdiction of a fire protection district with a fire code, notwithstanding any provisions of the fire code to the contrary, the fire protection district can issue only permits related directly to fire protection.
This bill is the same as HCS HB 514 (2023).
