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

SB 2040 places a temporary one-year pause on new fire protection fees that municipalities can charge to residents and businesses located outside city limits. This moratorium prevents any new fees from taking effect after June 30, 2024, until June 30, 2025, while still allowing local governments to adjust existing rates that were already in place before that date. The bill applies specifically to non-municipal residents and businesses who currently pay for fire services provided by the town or city where they live.
