HB 2155 Missouri House · 2024 Regular Session

Changes the law regarding fire protection districts

HB 2155 updates the rules for fire protection districts by clarifying who can serve on their boards and how elections are conducted. The bill establishes that board members must be district residents over age 24 and requires candidates to file an oath confirming their qualifications. It also redefines the districts' authority over residential construction, stating they cannot enforce building codes or zoning rules but retain final say over fire hydrants and fire lanes. Additionally, the legislation prohibits districts from charging fees for inspecting single-family homes and limits their permit issuance to fire safety issues only when local municipalities lack their own building codes.
