Modifies provisions for fire protection districts

HB 3296 reorganizes and clarifies the legal powers of fire protection districts in Missouri. It specifically details their authority to contract, borrow funds, acquire property, and use eminent domain, while adding new rules about charging non-residents for emergency services (capped at $100 per fire call or $250 per hour). The bill also updates provisions for pension benefits for both salaried and volunteer firefighters, including eligibility criteria for dependents. These changes directly affect fire districts, their residents, and emergency service recipients within district boundaries.
